The image shows a young man from the waist up, seated at a small round table. He faces the camera directly, has short dark hair, a full beard and mustache, and wears a checkered suit jacket over a waistcoat with a white shirt. He is holding a human skull in his right hand, which rests on the table covered in a patterned cloth. His left hand is placed on the skull. The background appears blurred, suggesting an outdoor setting with foliage.
