This portrait is rendered in black ink on a beige paper background. The subject's face is depicted in a three-quarter view, with their head tilted slightly to the left. The artist has used bold, expressive brushstrokes to capture the contours of the face, with darker shading around the eyes and mouth. The subject's hair is pulled back, revealing a prominent forehead and nose. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy, as if the subject is about to turn or move.
