This is a detailed pen and ink drawing on aged, off-white paper. The drawing features a study of a male figure, broken down into separate anatomical components. At the top left is a head, depicted from the chest up. The face is somewhat androgynous, with delicate features, a slightly downturned mouth, and large eyes. Curly hair frames the face, and the head is tilted slightly downward. To the right of the head is a hand, rendered in a gesture of blessing or giving. The fingers are delicately articulated, and the hand appears to be slightly raised. Below the head is a section of a male chest, depicted as a fragment. The muscles are defined with cross-hatching and shading, suggesting a strong physique. The drawing is executed with fine lines and intricate details, showcasing the artist's skill in anatomical study. The style is reminiscent of Renaissance or Baroque art. There is a small inscription or symbol at the top of the drawing, and some faint lines and smudges around the edges, indicating the age and handling of the artwork.
