This sketch shows a man in a dark coat, holding a rolled-up paper under his arm. His face is serious, with a mustache and a high forehead. The background is rough and blurry, like quick pencil strokes. The artist signed it in the corner—just a small scrawl. The loose lines and shading give it a sketchy, unfinished feel.
