This painting shows a portrait of a man, seen from the shoulders upwards. The man is in profile, facing the left. He has short, dark brown hair that appears to be styled with a slight wave, dark eyebrows, pale skin, and red lips. His cheeks and visible ear are slightly pink. The man is dressed in a formal outfit with a black jacket, a white collared shirt, and a black bow tie. The background consists of a textured, abstract blend of pale green tones. The brushstrokes in the painting are visible, giving the portrait a blurred effect.
