This image is a portrait showing the upper body of a man, focusing from the torso up. The man is depicted in a semi-profile position, facing slightly to his left. His facial features include a prominent forehead, a distinct nose, and a subtle smile. He has round eyeglasses and short, neatly combed dark hair. He is dressed in a suit consisting of a dark jacket, a beige or grey vest, and a white shirt, with a multicolored tie that leans toward shades of blue and brown wrapped around his neck. The background is simple and light, which ensures that the focus remains on the subject. The artist's signature and the date "December 1930" are visible on the lower part of the image.
