The image shows a man's upper body from around the chest up, in a slight three-quarter view, facing slightly to the right. He has a mustache and short wavy hair. The man wears an ornate collar with lace detailing and a garment with decorative embroidery. The background is a simple, unadorned space that draws attention to the man. The border around him is an ornate frame made with straight lines, emphasizing the classical style of the artwork.
