Portrait of a man with light skin and gray hair, wearing a blue jacket with six buttons on the front and white buttons on the cuffs, and a white vest and shirt with a high neck and frilly cuffs. He sits with his left arm resting on the back of a dark wood chair and his right hand on a surface in front of him, looking to the left with a neutral expression. The background is dark.
