The image shows an elderly man standing next to a mirrored dresser. He is dressed in a long-sleeve button-up shirt tucked into his pants with suspenders. He has medium-length hair and is wearing glasses. On the dresser are decorative objects such as a vase of flowers, figurines, a candle holder, and spectacles. Behind him, there is a draped window with lace curtains letting in soft light. The mirror reflects the objects and adds depth to the composition. The floor has intricately patterned rugs.
