A monotone etching and aquatint depicting the artist, a mixed race man, looking off towards the left, one hand resting agaisnt his cheek, the other on his chest. The bold outlines of his features, including the side of his face, hair, nose, mouth, and details on his hands apear paler than the rest of the image. The figure appears distorted.
