The image is a sketch of a man standing. He is facing slightly to the right and has a slight slouch. The man's facial features are drawn in a simple and expressive manner, with a pronounced nose and elongated face. His hair is curly and frames his head. He is wearing a long coat that falls below his knees, buttoned down the front, and loose sleeves with wide cuffs. The man is wearing boots that cover his legs up to the calves. The background is plain with no additional objects or patterns. The image is bordered by a sheet of paper that appears somewhat aged with slightly cut corners.
