The image shows a man sitting from the waist up. He has one arm resting on a surface, and is facing slightly towards the viewer. He has a mustache, neatly parted wavy hair, and wears a formal outfit with a dark coat and a white collar peeking out. In the background, there is draped fabric, possibly a curtain.
