Profile of a man, phlegmatic-melancholic temperament, pencil drawing
A pencil drawing in left profile shows an older man with tousled, wavy hair swept back from a lined forehead, heavy-lidded eyes, and a downturned mouth. Faint hatching behind the head and light shading on the neck suggest a plain background; the number 4 appears at the top of the sheet.
