This painting depicts the upper body of a man in a seated position, facing us. He has pale skin, a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and a neutral expression. His dark hair is styled back, and his dark beard is neatly trimmed. He is dressed in a black suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie. The brown background is lighter near the center of the painting and darker near the edges.
