The image shows an older man seated and reading a large open book before him. He has a white beard and mustache, with slightly long white hair covering his ears. He wears a dark jacket over a white collar shirt. He is leaning forward slightly, holding the book with one hand while the other rests on the page. The background is a richly etched pattern.
