The image shows a man sitting on a windowsill with his legs crossed, one arm resting on his lap, and the other holding a cigarette down by his side. He has short, neatly combed hair, wears glasses, a dark jacket, a light shirt, a loose necktie, and light-colored trousers. The open window shows indistinct foliage and a building outside. The setting is softly lit from the window, contrasting with shadows inside.
