A vertically oriented black chalk drawing depicts an older man with light skin seated facing us. He wears a tall black top hat and heavy coat, hands resting atop a cane between his legs. Sketchy black strokes define the contours of his clothing and a dense shadow rising behind him. He has a furrowed brow and full white beard. A signature is toward our bottom right.
