This is a Woodburytype print of Gabriel Fauré. He is depicted in profile from his head to just below his shoulders. He is oriented to our left, holding his head in the hand closest to the viewer. He has fair skin, tousled light-colored hair, and a mustache. He gazes off to the left with a lowered brow. He wears a dark jacket, with the cuffs of a white shirt peeking out of the sleeve. His body and background are loosely colored with dark lines.
