The image shows a black-and-white portrait of a man, depicting his body from the chest upwards. The man is positioned in an oval frame, facing slightly to the right with his head turned towards the viewer. His facial features include a prominent nose, downward-turned lips, and strong eyebrows. He has curly, white hair styled away from his face. He wears a dark, textured, formal coat over a white shirt, with a cravat tied around his neck, layered with lace detailing. The oval portrait is within a gray rectangle.
