The image features a man standing in front of a storefront with a reflective glass window to his left and a solid wall to his right. The man is facing the camera with one hand in his pocket. He has short, dark hair and is clean-shaven, wearing a suit with a checkered patterned jacket and trousers, a white dress shirt, and a wide, geometrically patterned tie. A handkerchief is visible in his pocket and he wears a watch on his left wrist. On the glass door behind him, there is an ice cream cone depiction, and a sign can be partially seen hanging in the window. The background shows a mix of shadows and light, indicating daylight.
