The image shows a portrait of a man displayed from the shoulders up. He is slightly turned to his left, causing his body to be angled while his face looks directly at the viewer. The man's facial features are detailed, with prominent cheekbones and a focused expression. His hair is short, partially covered by a wide-brimmed hat. He is wearing a collared shirt and holding a cigarette in his mouth. The background is plain. A signature, the year "'41," and the words "Self-Portrait" are visible.
