The image depicts two side profiles of a man's head and shoulders. The man has a large, full beard and slightly longer hair combed back. The drawings show a neutral facial expression, focusing on the facial contours and shadows. The man appears to be wearing a collared garment, and the background is plain with a light sepia tone. There is a handwritten inscription at the bottom right corner of the paper.
