The image shows a man sitting in a chair, facing slightly to his right. He has a serious expression with distinct facial features, like a slightly furrowed brow and calm eyes. His hair is styled in a typical 18th-century fashion, with voluminous, wavy gray hair. He wears a dark coat with a deep collar, large buttons, and a white cravat. He holds a small round object in one hand and an upturned cup in the other. He sits in an ornately carved chair next to a table with folded fabrics or documents. In the background are classical-style buildings against a cloudy sky.
