A broad dark hat frames the upper head, its crown and brim modeled in soft brown-black shading. Round wire spectacles sit beneath thick eyebrows. His gaze is lowered slightly, and a long curved pipe projects toward the viewer's left from beneath a spreading mustache.A dense beard surrounds the lower face. Warm paper provides the base flesh tone, with gray-brown shading along the nose, cheek and temples. Small pale chalk-like accents pick out the forehead, nose bridge, ear and individual beard hairs.The jacket is drawn with loose contours and broad rubbed masses, becoming less finished toward the lower right. Fine directional hatching follows the beard and shoulders. The background remains largely empty, with scattered smudges and visible paper tooth. No artist signature is clearly readable in the supplied frame.
