This drawing shows a man in a long, brown coat and hat, holding a cane in one hand. His face is exaggerated—big mustache, bushy eyebrows, and a slightly surprised look. The background is plain, so all the focus is on him. The title says *"A Symphony"*, which hints this might be about music or mood. The artist signed it "Spy," a nickname for Leslie Matthew Ward.
