The image depicts the upper half of a man's body in a portrait. He is positioned slightly angled to his right but his face is turned towards the viewer. The man has a fair complexion with rosy cheeks, light-colored eyes, and a straight nose. His hair is white, curly, and close-cropped to his head. He is wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a white cravat tucked into the jacket. The background is a solid deep red. There are no visible accessories or objects around him.
