The drawing depicts a man standing with his hands hanging behind his sides. He wears a gray long-sleeved cardigan over a white and blue striped dress shirt and a bright blue necktie. His bright blue pants match his tie and are cuffed over his black oxford shoes. The man and his clothing are outlined in graphite with watercolor and unidentified pigment shading. The stamp for the United Scenic Artists Local 829 is in black ink in the lower right facing corner, with Dearing's signature in black ink below the stamp. The reverse is blank.
