The image is a pencil sketch of an older man's head and a partial view of his right hand. The man's face is turned to the left, looking upwards. He has a broad forehead, thinning hair, pronounced eyebrows, and sideburns that reach his jawline. His expression is calm and thoughtful. The sketch indicates he may be holding a small object or pointing with his index finger. He is wearing a garment with a high collar, but details are not shown. The background is plain to keep the focus on the man.
