The sketch depicts a man's upper body in a side profile position. His head is slightly turned to the side, with his gaze forward. The man has an aged appearance with facial features like a prominent nose, full beard, mustache, and wavy shoulder-length hair. He is wearing a loose-fitting robe or overcoat, with visible sleeves. His hands are resting on his lap or the chair's armrest. There are no visible jewelry or additional objects, and the background is plain with subtle shading.
