The image depicts a detailed and expressive charcoal drawing of a person with glasses, a head scarf, and a full beard. The artwork is intricately sketched on brown paper, showcasing a precise use of shading and texture to define facial features and the flow of hair. The subject gazes directly at the viewer with a calm yet intense expression, while the background is overlaid with a subtle grid pattern, enhancing the composition's structure.
