A vintage graphite portrait sketch of a seated male figure, loosely drawn with a confident line, in an ebonized wood swivel frame on a stepped base. The subject is rendered from the torso up, relaxed and turned slightly toward the viewer. The artist is unknown and the work is unsigned.

The frame pivots on two side posts above the stepped base, allowing the angle to be adjusted. Carved floral and foliate detail runs along the uprights, top rail, and base. The wood shows honest age at the corners and base, consistent with a frame that has held something worth keeping for a long time. There is only one.
