The image shows a full-body profile drawing of a person standing in a slightly bent posture. The person has pronounced facial features with a prominent brow, a noticeable nose, and heavy-lidded eyes. The hair is voluminous and swept back from the forehead. They are dressed in a dark jacket with wide lapels, buttoned up the front, light-colored pants, and decorative cuffs. One hand is resting on their chest while the other is bent at the elbow, appearing to hold an outturned hat on the side. The background is plain, with the figure casting a shadow on the surface.
