The image shows a man standing upright and facing left. He has distinct facial features such as a long nose and a round chin, closed eyes, and short, wavy hair under a floppy hat. He wears a long robe, a scarf or collar around his neck, is holding a walking stick in his right hand, and a small metal cup in his left. A leash extends from his right hand to a small dog at his feet. The background features a stone wall with shadows and a wooden chair with a woven seat to the right. The overall setting appears to be an exterior space, perhaps a street or courtyard against a building wall.
