The image shows a man standing on a street. He is leaning slightly forward with one hand in his pocket and the other hanging by his side. The man has a pronounced nose and mouth, a light mustache, sideburns, and wears a wide-brimmed hat that mostly covers his hair. He is dressed in a long coat over a dark shirt and trousers, with visible shoes. The background depicts a city street at night or during dimly lit conditions, with other pedestrians, illuminated street lamps, and buildings visible.
