The image depicts a man from the waist up. The man is seated with his right arm resting on a surface, and his left arm crossed over his midsection. He has a thin moustache and a slightly receding hairline, with his hair styled in soft waves reaching below his ears. He wears a dark robe with a white collar and a bow tied at the neck, featuring button details down the front. In the background, there are heavy drapery and a column.
