The drawing depicts a profile view of an elderly man's head, neck, and upper shoulders. The man is facing right. He has a prominent nose, full beard, and aged facial features. His hair is combed back smoothly with a slight wave and is long enough to gather at the back of his head. He is not wearing any visible clothing or jewelry. The background of the drawing is plain.
