A vertically oriented ink drawing on aged paper depicts a man in profile facing right with a dark beard and mustache. Seated within a faint arched border, he wears a rounded cap and a sleeveless tunic with thin straps. He raises his right hand toward his chest and rests his left on his knee. Much of the page to the right remains blank, leaving the figure isolated against the plain paper.
