A vintage-style illustration of a handsome young man with brown curly hair, viewed from the chest up, in profile, looking down at a small notebook he is writing in with a pen. He wears a white tank top and has prominent muscles in his arms. In the background, there is a faint, blurred rendering of buildings or a cityscape, possibly in the style of an old Italian town, with a faded brown wash behind it all. The artwork features strong lines and stippling, suggesting a printmaking or engraving technique, with some watercolor washes for color.
