This image depicts a man from the waist up in a seated or standing pose. He has his head tilted upwards with his hand raised to his temple. The man has a furrowed brow, thick beard, and wavy hair swept back. He is wearing a loose-fitting garment with a wide collar and a piece of fabric or sash over his shoulder. The background has swirling lines creating a textured effect around the figure, with the rest left blank within an oval border. The title "LEAR" is displayed above the image, with printed text below including a quote from Shakespeare's "King Lear".
