Printed with black lines and dense hatching, a man with a long white beard is shown from the chest up in this square portrait etching. The man looks slightly off to our right with deep-set, dark eyes peering over half-moon glasses. His mouth is hidden under a busy mustache over his full beard. A few tufts of hair peek out from under his floppy, light-colored hat, and he wears a dark garment that nearly blends into the shadowy background. Graphite inscriptions under the image read “1st Etat No. 11” to the left and “C. Pissarro” to the right.
