Composition in black and white. Fast contour lines. Bust of a man occupying almost the entire stand area. The figure is from the front, has long face, hair thin, suggesting they are entangled, wrinkled forehead, bushy eyebrows, huge almond-shaped eyes facing forward, long and wide nose, thin lips arched downward and rounded chin. The neck is very short, seeing the beginning of the clothes you wear and that is only suggested. In the background a few lines almost horizontal viewing is on the right, four numbers inscribed by the artist.
