The image shows a man from the knees up, in a leaning position with his left elbow resting on a fabric-covered surface, and his hand supporting his head. He has a thoughtful expression on his face, with downcast eyes and dark hair that is combed to the sides. He is wearing a light-colored suit with a matching vest and a white shirt underneath, topped with a dark bow tie. His right hand is holding a book, which he rests on one knee. The background consists of patterned fabric, possibly curtains, and a wooden lattice, with ornamental details visible on the left side, including a vase and furniture.
