The image shows a man seated in a chair with an armrest, holding an object, potentially a pen or cigar. He has distinct facial features including a mustache, defined cheeks, and neatly combed back hair. The man appears older and is dressed in a suit or jacket. In the foreground, there is a round container with a lid decorated with horse motifs, and some small cylindrical objects on the table. The background shows what seems to be a fireplace mantle or shelf, with vertical elements resembling books or ledgers against a wall. The overall setting suggests a study or office space.
