He has a round facial structure with small circular spectacles on his nose, a slightly open mouth, and a prominent chin, with tousled, curly hair. He is wearing a suit consisting of a long jacket, a waistcoat, a high-collared shirt, a necktie, and a chain around his neck. The background is plain with minimal shading, and the name "G. K.
