A vertically oriented etching in black ink on cream paper features the bald head of Adolf Menzel. Frenzied, scratchy hatching and dense, scribbly lines define his weathered face, concentrating on our right. His downcast eyes and set mouth emerge from a chaos of strokes, while wispy, delicate lines suggest a gaunt neck. Handwritten along the bottom margin are the words "Menzel," "41/50," and "Baskin."
