The painting depicts a man dressed as Pierrot, a character from a French comedic play. He wears a loose, white outfit with billowy sleeves and pants that are rolled down to the calf, and slippers on his feet. The outfit is topped with a matching white hat that has a small round object on top. The man's facial expression appears to be melancholic or introspective, with his head slightly bowed and eyes downcast. He stands against a background that resembles a landscape with hazy hills. The color palette is predominantly muted shades of gray, white, and brown. The title of the piece is "Pierrot" and it is by the artist Paul Gavarni.
