A vertically oriented black ink drawing on cream-colored paper depicts a man in profile, tilting his head down with eyes closed. He wears a wide-brimmed, flat-topped hat. Loose, gestural lines define his form, while short, hatched marks shade a dark beard and mustache. His hand is tucked thoughtfully beneath his chin. To the left, silver spiral rings bind the page, framing this intimate sketchbook portrait.
