The image shows an upper-body portrait of a man. He is in a three-quarter view looking to his right. His facial features include a prominent nose and pronounced cheekbones, with shadows emphasizing the contours of his face. His hair is dark and cut in a relatively short style, brushing across his forehead and covering his ears. He wears a coat with a large fur collar that envelops his upper body. The background has a textured pattern of dark vertical and horizontal lines, contrasting with the lightness of the man's skin. The etching style gives depth and texture to the portrait.
