He has a short, dark beard and hair, and is dressed in a dark jacket or coat with a lighter-colored shirt underneath. The lithograph is characterized by expressive, gestural lines that convey a sense of movement and energy. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face.
