The man has a pale complexion, soft facial features, a slightly rounded face, and light voluminous hair styled away from his face. He is dressed formally in a dark jacket with a high collar and a white cravat at his neck. There are no visible jewelry or objects. The background is a plain, textured, brownish canvas.
