This is a pencil drawing of a man with a mustache, wearing a suit and tie. The drawing is done in black and white, with shading that gives the image depth. The man's face is the focus of the drawing, with detailed lines that show his features. His hair is short and neatly combed, and his mustache is thick and well-groomed. He looks straight ahead, with a serious expression. The drawing is a portrait of Dr. Louis Vintras, created by Alphonse Legros in 1904.
