Vertically oriented black chalk drawing on a light brown sketchbook page depicts two studies rendered with white heightening. Above, a disembodied right arm and hand reach right, grasping a thin stylus. Below, the downcast head of an older, bearded man faces forward with a furrowed brow. Sketchy diagonal strokes define his features, while white highlights illuminate his forehead and nose against the weathered surface.
