The image shows the upper half of a man's body seated. His left hand is resting on a surface, while his right arm is bent with his hand placed at the edge of his clothing. He has a moustache, expressive gaze, wavy hair styled in a middle part, and is wearing a dark garment with visible buttons, a large light-colored collar, and a tie. In the background, there is a curtain with a tassel and a flat surface with an object on it. A signature or inscription is on the wall behind him.
