This is a charcoal drawing showing a side profile view of a man's head and upper torso. The man is positioned with his back slightly turned towards the viewer, looking to the right. He has a prominent nose, a thick beard, and wavy hair falling around his head. The man is wearing a shirt with loose fabric. There are no visible accessories or objects. The background is plain, and there is a faint signature in the lower right corner.
