The image is an artistic drawing of a man shown in a three-quarter view portrait from his shoulders up. The man has his head tilted downward and is wearing a hat, a jacket with a notched lapel, and a collared shirt. His facial features are sketched with deep shadows under his eyes and lines around his mouth, giving the impression of a mustache. The background is simple with rough shading behind the man to the left.
