The image shows a man in a three-quarters profile, displaying part of his torso. He stands with a slightly tilted head and a wide smile on his face. The man wears a traditional fez and is draped in a white garment over his shoulders. He is holding a black object. The surroundings suggest a lively environment, possibly a market or stall, with shelves lined with various goods and items hanging around. The background is decorated with patterned fabrics or tapestries on the ceiling, illuminated by light bulbs.
