A photogravure in muted brown tones closely crops an older man with medium-dark skin tone. His weathered face, turned toward us and looking to our right, features a furrowed brow, graying hair, and deep creases. He wears a heavy, hooded garment with a dark, textured fur collar and a white drawstring. Features rendered in fine detail emerge from a dark background that highlights the rugged textures of his skin and graying beard.
