Black and white portrait of a man with curly hair wearing a dark jacket and white shirt, resting his elbow on a cane while sitting, against a backdrop of a cloudy sky and sparse vegetation. The man sits on the right side, looking towards the left. His elbow rests on top of his left hand which grips the top of the cane. His right hand is not visible. The man's hair is dark and curly. He wears a white shirt with a high collar and a dark jacket. The background on the left features a cloudy sky with a lighter area near the horizon and sparse vegetation in the foreground. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-left corner.
