A photogravure in warm brown tones depicts the head of a man looking toward us. His broad face features deeply etched lines across the forehead and around dark eyes. Dark hair is parted in the center. He wears a light, vertically striped shirt beneath a thick, dark blanket draped over his shoulders. Deep shadows define his features, including a mouth set in a straight line, against an unadorned, dark background.
