The image depicts an elderly man standing next to a wooden structure. He is leaning against it, with his left arm resting on the structure. The man has a long beard and mustache, medium-length hair, and wears a wide-brimmed hat. He is dressed in a long, dark overcoat, dark suit, white shirt, dark necktie, dark pants, and polished shoes. He is not holding any objects, and there is no visible jewelry. The background consists of a brick-paved ground and a wooden wall with leafless branches hanging in front of it.
