This is a pencil drawing of a man from the chest up, creating a three-quarter length portrait. The man is facing slightly to the side but looking directly at the viewer. He has a full, bushy beard, a prominent mustache, slicked back hair and a neutral expression. He is wearing a buttoned-up shirt with visible folds and suspenders. The background is a plain, textured surface. The artist's signature is visible on the right side of the drawing.
