The image shows a seated man depicted from the waist up. He is in a relaxed seated posture with one arm resting casually. The man has a broad face with a prominent nose, sideburns, and what appears to be facial hair extending to his cheeks. His head is bald on top. He is wearing a suit with a jacket, waistcoat, and collared shirt. His hand is resting on his lap. The background is filled with sketchy lines and patterns that appear to form a textured or floral backdrop behind the figure.
