The image shows a man seated in a chair. He is facing slightly to the side, one arm resting on a table, and the other on the back of the chair. The man has a composed expression, soft facial features, and a prominent nose. His hair is styled in a formal manner typical of the 18th century. He is dressed in elaborate attire, including a tailcoat, waistcoat, breeches, stockings, and shoes with buckles. A ruffled white shirt is visible under his coat sleeves. On the table beside him, there are various objects including rolled-up papers with writing, a quill pen, an inkpot, and closed books. He holds a long staff or cane. The background includes thick drapery with tassels and a column, and in a faded section, a landscape with trees can be seen.
