A vertically oriented graphite drawing on off-white paper depicts a seated, bearded man with a light skin tone. He wears a wide-brimmed hat and glasses, his hands resting in his lap. Loose hatching creates shadows across his long-sleeved jacket. Above him, a faint sketch shows the head and shoulders of another figure in profile, facing right. The work features visible pencil strokes and a raw, unfinished quality.
