A vertically oriented graphite drawing on cream paper depicts the profile of an older man with light skin facing our right. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat, his features are defined by minimalist, sketchy lines and soft gray shading contouring his face. Below the figure, cursive handwriting reads, "as I figure the world to myself, Fate is terrible only to those who Surrender to her-." Binder rings line the left edge.
