The image shows a close-up portrait of an elderly man's upper body and head. He is facing the camera with his head slightly turned to the side. The man has deep-set eyes, a mustache, and visible facial wrinkles in the black and white photograph. His light hair is mostly covered by a dark beret. He wears a light-colored shirt buttoned at the top under a darker jacket, partly visible. The background is dark and indistinct, emphasizing the man's facial features.
