The image is a black and white sketch of a man's face and upper torso. The style is expressive and somewhat rough, with visible strokes and shading. The man has a serious, introspective expression. His hair is dark and somewhat disheveled, and he has a beard and mustache. He is wearing a jacket or coat with a high collar. The background is a textured, scribbled pattern, possibly suggesting a wall or other surface. There is text at the bottom of the image, including the words 'Fall 244.', 'Abb. 165. Selbstbildnis (Buntstift).', and '19×28'. The overall impression is one of intensity and emotional depth.
