A vertically oriented print in black ink depicts an older man from the chest up, looking toward our left. He wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat and coat. His face is heavily lined with deep-set eyes and a furrowed brow. A full white beard and mustache pop against a dark, smudged background. Shadows emphasize depth, while light from our right highlights his features. A signature appears in the bottom right corner.
