This is a drawing of a man in a bust portrait view. The man is shown from the chest upwards, posed in a three-quarter profile facing slightly to his left. He has defined facial features, including a prominent jawline, high cheekbones, and a mustache. The man's eyes are deep-set, and he has medium-length hair styled back neatly. He is wearing a formal suit with a white shirt, dark tie, and light-colored jacket. The background is plain, emphasizing the detailed line work of the drawing.
