The image is a pencil drawing of a man. He is depicted in a three-quarter view, slightly turned to the right. The man has a prominent nose, bushy eyebrows, and deep-set eyes. He has a long, thick beard, a mustache, and is wearing a wide-brimmed hat that covers most of his hair. The man is wearing a collared shirt. The background is plain with slight discoloration on the paper surface, and the artist's signature "A. Legros" is in the lower right corner.
