The image is a portrait of a man's upper body. He is positioned in a three-quarter view, slightly turned to his left. The man has an older appearance with distinctive facial features, including a broad forehead, pronounced cheekbones, and a well-groomed mustache and goatee. His curly hair extends to the sides and back, with a bald spot at the top, and he is wearing a skullcap. He is dressed in a dark garment with a high white collar and a scarf-like accessory tied at the neck, adorned with a tassel hanging down in the center. The background consists of a line-patterned oval frame that is part of an etched engraving.
