The image shows a portrait of an older man from the chest up. He is facing slightly to his right and looking directly at the camera. The man has a mustache and short, neatly combed light-colored hair, with a clean-shaven face. He is dressed in a dark suit, a high-collared white shirt, and a tie. There is no visible jewelry, and he is not holding any objects. The background is a muted dark tone.
