The image depicts a drawing of a man's head, rendered in a range of dark and light values. The subject's face is turned slightly to the right, with his eyes cast downward. His hair is depicted in loose, flowing locks that frame his face. A small inscription in the bottom-left corner reads "St Omer May 1890", while a circular monogram is visible in the bottom-right corner. The overall style of the drawing suggests a Romantic influence, with expressive lines and a focus on capturing the subject's emotional state.
