A right-profile ink portrait of a man wearing glasses — the most individually specific of the small-format ink portraits, the glasses' dark frames and the face beneath them together creating a portrait of unmistakable particularity. The glasses are drawn with attention to their specific structure: the thick dark frames at the brow, the lens rectangle below, the temple piece extending behind the ear. The face in right profile below the glasses: a broad, prominent nose, the lips set, the chin firm, the neck thick. Above the glasses the hair is loosely sketched, a few marks suggesting the hair's presence without elaborating it. Below the face a jacket and tie are visible.
The glasses in right profile present the lens as a rectangle seen at an angle — the rectangular frame visible on the right side, the lens's edge visible, the temple piece running back to the ear. This specific optical geometry, drawn with bold ink marks, gives the portrait its primary visual identity: the glasses before the face, the accessory before the person, and yet the two together constituting an inseparable whole. The man and his glasses are each less themselves without the other.
The nose below the glasses is described with particular specificity — a broad, somewhat bulbous form, the nostril indicated, the tip rounded. This nose, combined with the glasses and the firm set jaw, gives the portrait a strong individual character: a particular face, known and observed, not a type. Among the small-format ink portraits in Batch 63, this is the one most clearly recording a specific individual rather than a category of person. The glasses and the nose together are the face's identity, as clear as a fingerprint.
