The image shows a man from the knees upwards. He is standing in a three-quarter pose, slightly turned towards his left with his head facing forward. The man has a full, neatly groomed beard and a prominent mustache, with neatly combed hair that is receding slightly. He wears round glasses. His attire consists of a dark overcoat over a double-breasted suit, complete with a vest, shirt, and a tie or cravat. In his left hand, he holds a wide-brimmed hat and a pair of gloves. The backdrop of the image is a textured wall.
