A vertically oriented black chalk drawing on tan paper depicts a seated man with light skin tone facing right. He wears a hooded cloak over a long-sleeved tunic and robe, hands resting on his legs. Blended shading creates deep, dark recesses within the heavy fabric folds, while a fine outline defines his contour. A signature is visible in the lower-left corner. Light subtly illuminates his hair and the tops of his shoulders.
