The image is a watercolor and pencil portrait of a man's upper torso and head. The man is positioned in a three-quarter view with his body angled slightly away from the viewer and his head turned to the left. He has short, dark, neatly combed hair, wears glasses, and has a subtle, slightly serious expression. He is dressed in a suit with a tie, and his hand is resting on a surface with a blue ring on his middle finger. The background is an abstract wash of grays and blacks, with loose brushstrokes suggesting an undefined environment.
