Composition in black and white. Contour lines, straight, parallel and intersecting. Portrait of man's head, occupying almost the entire support area against light background with intersecting lines and geometric shapes, one stood out, forming a triangle on the man's face. The pictured 3/4 is facing left, has a round face, hair combed back, spread to the right, straight eyebrows, long nose, almond-shaped eyes, mustaches and lips closed. It is seen early and neck lines suggesting on the left shoulder. In the background, lines forming geometrical areas, which blend with the man's face.
