The image depicts an older man shown from the waist up. He is seated and facing slightly to the side. His facial features are etched with care, showing a large, full beard and bushy eyebrows beneath a wide-brimmed fur hat. His hair is long and wavy, falling to his shoulders. He is wearing a cloak draped around his shoulders with a loose-fitting garment beneath. His right hand is partially visible, resting on his chest. The background is plain, with some sketch-like shading, and above the man's left shoulder, "Rembrandt" is inscribed along with a date that appears to be 1630.
