The image shows a man in a bust view. He is seated and facing slightly to the right with his right elbow resting on a surface and head supported by his hand. He has a neutral facial expression, short dark hair, a dark suit with a high collar, a striped shirt, a bow tie, and a watch chain visible across his vest. The surface has a patterned texture and the background is plain with a decorative frame featuring a red velvet border and gold edges.
