The image shows a man in a seated portrait. He has one arm resting on a surface and the other arm partially visible. His face is turned towards the viewer, displaying delicate facial features, a trimmed mustache, and a soft goatee. He has short, curly hair, and is dressed in a formal, long-sleeved garment with buttons down the front, a lace collar, and cuffs. The background includes a large curtain with elegant folds and a visible tassel on the right side of the image, as well as an indistinct, shaded wall.
