The image displays the upper half of a man's body, mainly focusing on his head and shoulders. The man is portrayed in a three-quarter view, looking over his shoulder towards the viewer. He has a distinctive nose, mustache, small beard or goatee, and his eyes are directed at the viewer. His hair is wavy, providing texture. He is wearing a high-collared, cloak-like garment draped loosely over his shoulders. He is not holding any visible jewelry or objects. The background is plain, highlighting the detailed drawing of the man's facial features and clothes.
