The man's facial features include a pronounced nose and a slightly furrowed brow. He is wearing a dark jacket with a high collar and a white cravat at his neck. The background is a simple circular frame with a dark, uniform color. Below the portrait, there is a signature or inscription on a light brown strip at the bottom.
