The image depicts a full-body caricature of a man seated on a ledge or step. The man is sideways to the viewer, with crossed legs and arms folded. He has exaggerated facial features, curly hair, and is dressed in a dark suit with striped trousers and formal shoes. A piece of fabric, possibly a handkerchief, is beside him on the ledge. The background is lightly sketched, indicating a simple setting.
