The image shows a man standing with one hand on his hip. He is wearing a tall, soft hat and has a mustache. His outfit consists of a voluminous coat with a fur-like texture, over a layered tunic that cinches at the waist with a sash. He stands in slip-on shoes. The background of the image is plain, with subtle texture to suggest a surface. There is no visible jewelry or objects being held by the man.
