Composition in black and white. Contour lines, straight, parallel and intersecting.

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.
