A drawing of a bust of a man framed by a classical architectural motif.

The drawing in graphite on tracing paper depicts the bust of a man wearing a laurel in a circular icon. The icon is the centerpiece of a classical architectural structure, topped by a stepped capital. Beneath the icon is the suggestion of a frieze featuring figures, a placard, and drapery. There is written script at the center left and a stamp at the bottom right of the page.
