The image shows an elderly man sitting on a chair, with his body visible from head to knees. He is positioned slightly turned to his right, with his hands resting on his waist. The man has curly hair, a prominent chin, high-arched eyebrows, and a wide smile. He is wearing a long coat, knee-length breeches, and stockings. Surrounding him are an ornate chair, a wooden writing table with a book open and a quill in an ink pot. The background consists of parallel lines, highlighting the figure.
