The image displays the upper body of a man standing in a three-quarter view facing the camera. He has a rugged facial appearance, with a strong jawline and deep-set eyes. He wears a headscarf, a work jacket over a collared shirt, and holds a pair of protective goggles in one gloved hand. The background is dark, with minimal lighting visible in the distance to the left side, creating a stark contrast around the figure.
