The image shows an upper body portrait of a person seated, facing slightly to the left. The person has a straight posture, with both hands resting on their lap. Their facial features include a neutral expression, with light-colored eyes, a straight nose, and a slightly parted mouth. They have curly hair, partially visible beneath a soft, rounded cap. They are dressed in formal clothing, consisting of a dark coat and a white shirt, accented with a large, dark bow tie around the collar. A chain is draped across the chest. The background is plain, and the image is bordered with an ornate, gold-colored frame inside a velvet-lined case.
