The image shows an older man standing upright. He has a serious expression with a prominent forehead and thinning hair. His cheeks are slightly sunken, and his facial features are angular. He is wearing a dark, button-up shirt with sleeves rolled up just past the elbows. In his right hand, he holds a sturdy wooden tool or walking stick that rests on the ground. The background includes a wall covered in climbing plants and ivy, with leaves filling the left side of the image and bare vines on the right.
