The image depicts the upper portion of a man's body, showing his head and part of his shoulders. He is positioned slightly off-center to the right, with his head tilted back and eyes closed. The man has strong and defined facial features, short, neatly trimmed hair that is receding at the temples, and wears a collared shirt that is unbuttoned at the top. Around his neck, a pair of reading glasses hang on a cord. The wall behind him is cluttered with various items, including photographs, papers, documents, a small statuette, and figurines.
