The image shows the upper part of a man's face reflected in a large mirror above a wooden dresser. The man is at a distance from the mirror, looking directly into it. His facial features are partially obscured by shadow, but his short dark hair and straight gaze are visible. He appears to be wearing a light-colored shirt. The dresser has two small drawers on the top row and larger drawers below, with a pile of folded fabrics or towels on top. An object resembling a toiletry case sits in front of the mirror. A framed paper and a light switch are on the wall beside the dresser. Floral-patterned curtains are reflected in the mirror beside the man's image. The walls and general decor are minimal.
