The image depicts the upper half of a man. He is facing slightly to the right and has his left arm resting on a surface. The man has short, curly hair and distinct cheekbones. He is wearing a double-breasted jacket with wide lapels over a white shirt with a high collar and a dark cravat. The background is dark-toned, emphasizing the man's features, with subtle shading for depth.
