Charcoal and oil pastel side profile portrait of a man in his twenties or thirties looking to the right of the composition, his small mouth curving in a smile. He has short-cropped brown hair, and small, beady eyes with straight, thin eyebrows, and a very long, slightly bent nose. There are crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
