Portrait of a man on paper done with a brown, felt tipped pen using the method of contour drawing. The man is staring straight at the viewer. Only his head is pictured. His expression is serious, but largely neutral. The man has short hair and a rectangular face. Only his left ear (the right, from the viewer's perspective) is drawn. His chin is square, although there is evidence that it was originally drawn as cleft. His nose is straight, his lips are neither thin nor full, and his eyebrows slightly bushy. The paper itself is yellowed with age, and would have come from a drawing pad as the tabs are largely still intact along the top of the page. It is quite translucent and thin. The paper has been torn into an irregular shape.

Pencil sketch shows an elderly man raking leaves. His back is to the observer. His broad shoulders are hunched up and he is wearing a baggy long sleeved shirt tucked into his pants. The handle end of a rake is visible over the man's right shoulder. He is wearing a flat cap; all that can be seen from under the cap are the back of his neck and his left ear. The drawing fades at just below the man's knees and text below the image reads: old man raking leaves outside philosophy class window. The text is all lower case, with no punctuation. The drawing is just left of center on the paper. The medium-weight drawing paper came from a spiral-bound pad and the majority of the tabs are still mostly intact along the top.
