The self-portrait is drawn by Leonardo da Vinci in red chalk on paper. It depicts the head of an elderly man in three-quarter view, his face turned towards the viewer. The subject is distinguished by his long hair and long waving beard which flow over the shoulders and breast.

The face has a somewhat aquiline nose and is marked by deep lines on the brow and pouches below |
