Bust of a man in a soft cap, profile to the left
Red-chalk study of a heavy-featured man wearing a broad beret
A man is shown in bust length, his head in profile to the left beneath a broad soft cap. The blunt nose, thick lips and heavy jaw are drawn in red chalk, while the shoulders and torso are only lightly sketched and a faint second contour is set at the right. The collection stamp of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana appears at the upper left.
