The image depicts an upper-body portrait of a man. He is standing, leaning slightly to the right with his right arm resting on a surface. The man has a round face, smooth features, and is wearing glasses. His hair is short and neatly combed. He is dressed in a formal suit, consisting of a jacket over a shirt. The background is plain with subtle sketch lines indicating the man's arm is on a surface, possibly a desk or railing. There are no other objects present in the background. The artwork is monochromatic with visible sketch lines and shading, giving it a classic, vintage appearance.
