The image shows a male figure from the waist up seated in a relaxed position. He is leaning slightly back while smoking a long pipe that he holds with both hands, one hand near his face and the other near the bowl of the pipe. The man has distinct facial features including a moustache, and his hair is mostly covered by a wrapped turban. He is wearing a traditional, loose-fitting jacket over a shirt with a high collar, and he has a sash tied across his waist. The sash holds a large knife or sword in a sheath on the left side. The man appears to be wearing a medallion or brooch on a chain around his neck. The background is a simple, unadorned texture.
