A horizontally oriented oil painting with a rough, pitted texture depicts the head of César Vallejo resting on white cloth. He has a dark skin tone and closed eyes, shown in profile tilted toward our right. A dark mass forms his torso. At the bottom edge, yellow cursive text reads, "Me morire en Paris con aguacero un dia del cual tengo ya el recuerdo."
