The image depicts a seated man from the waist up. He is facing slightly to his right and looking to his left. The man has a long white beard, closely shaven hair, deeply set eyes, and a slightly furrowed brow. He is wearing a black jacket over a grey waistcoat and trousers. A gold chain is visible around his neck and tucked into the waistcoat. He has a ring on his left hand and is holding a black top hat with his right hand. The background is plain and dark, providing a contrast to his light clothing and beard.
