A vertical zinc plate depicts a man from the chest up, facing toward our left. Fine, etched lines define his features, with dense hatching on his cheek and neck. His short hair is combed forward above a closed mouth. He wears a jacket over a collared shirt. The gray metallic surface features horizontal scratches and mottled patches, creating a textured background that contrasts with the sharply defined figure.
