This is a drawing of a man sitting in a chair, looking to the left. He's wearing a dark jacket and has short hair. The background is light, and the overall style is detailed and realistic. The man's face and clothes are drawn with lots of lines, giving the picture a lot of texture. His hands are clasped together in his lap, and his feet are hidden under the chair. The chair itself is simple, with straight legs and a plain back. If you like this kind of detailed drawing, you might want to look up the Romanticism movement.
