This sketch shows a man with a mustache and curly hair. His collar is visible at the neck, and the lines are dark against a light background. The drawing looks quick, with loose strokes. The name "Philippe Le Roy" is written at the bottom, likely the person’s name. This style was made using a technique where ink is pressed into a metal plate.
