The image depicts a detailed pencil drawing of a man's head and shoulders. The man is turned slightly to his left, with deeply-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a full, bushy beard. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and has unkempt, curly hair that merges with his beard. There are minimal details on his clothing. The background is plain, and the drawing is signed in the bottom right corner by A. Legros.
