The image shows a portrait of a man captured from the mid-chest upwards. He is positioned facing slightly to his left but looking directly at the viewer. The man's facial features are characterized by defined cheekbones and a composed expression. His hair is dark and sparse, receding slightly, with some curls visible near his ears. He is dressed in a formal manner, wearing a dark coat with a broad lapel over a high-collared white shirt and a dark cravat tied at the neck. There is no visible jewelry or objects seen in the portrait. The background of the portrait is plain and dark. The entire image is set within a cream-colored border.
