A vertically oriented etching in black ink depicts an older man from the chest up, his face obscured by a wide-brimmed hat. Deep shadow masks his eyes, while light catches his ear, nose, and textured beard. His mouth is slightly open. Dense, intricate cross-hatching creates heavy contrast throughout. A cursive signature at the bottom reads "Arthur Wm Heintzelman," with "IL" inscribed to the right.
