The painting depicts a full-body portrait of a man standing. He is barefoot and bare-chested, wearing only a cloth wrapped around his lower body. The man holds a lute in his left hand up to his body and appears to be singing or playing the instrument. His head is tilted upwards. The background features a blue sky with brushstrokes of green and brown suggesting foliage or trees. To the right of the subject, there is what appears to be a stone structure or railing. The color palette is predominantly muted shades of brown, gray, and white. The artist's initials "h.D" are visible at the bottom right.
