This print shows an abstract representation of a person from the waist up. The person is facing forward, with angular, stylized facial features, including a prominent brow, deep-set eyes, a pronounced nose, and tightly set, thin lips. Their hair is dark and closely cropped. Clothing is indicated by strong, textured lines that suggest a substantial garment, possibly a coat or a cloak, and there is a suggestion of the person's hand near their chest, folded into a fist. The background features heavy, textured lines and shading. The print is in thick lines of black, dark red, and off-white.
