The image shows an upper-body view of a person sitting down, with their body slightly turned to the side and their head facing forward. The person has a serene expression, with a neatly trimmed mustache and a rounded face framed by medium-length hair that peeks out from beneath a cap. The hair appears to be straight and sits close to the person's head. The individual is wearing a large, loose garment with a fur collar, which looks to be a coat or cloak, and a scarf that drapes over their shoulders. The etching features detailed textures in the clothing's fur element. In the background, there is a simple, textured surface with some indistinct shapes. The artwork is completed in a monochrome style. In the top left corner, the name "Rembrandt" and the year "1637" are written.
