The image shows a man's portrait. He is facing forward with slight positioning to his right. The man has a beard and mustache, curly dark hair, and is wearing a hat with a broad brim. He has a neutral expression, wearing a coat with a fur collar over a light-colored ruffled shirt. The background is plain, focusing on the man within an arch frame, from the chest upwards, without prominently visible arms.
