A contemporary realist portrait of the entertainer Michael Jackson, executed in graphite and charcoal on white wove paper. The subject is depicted in a close-up composition, wearing a light-coloured fedora with a dark band and looking towards the viewer with a broad smile. The work demonstrates technical proficiency in the soft graphite blending used for skin textures and the deep charcoal application for high-contrast areas, including the hat band and the signature loose curls of hair framing the face. A graphite signature is located in the bottom right corner, consisting of a stylised letter M, a letter K, and the numerals 21.
