The image shows a man seated sideways with his hands on his lap. He is looking to his left, away from the camera. The man has distinct facial features, with a pronounced nose and deep-set eyes. He has dark, shoulder-length, slightly wavy hair and is wearing a suit jacket over a white shirt with a bow tie. The background is plain, and the image is bordered with decorative lines.
