The portrait depicts a man facing slightly to the right, with his head turned towards the viewer. He has arched eyebrows, a pronounced nose, and a slight smile. He has long, curly, grayish-white hair falling to his shoulders. The man is dressed in a brown coat with buttons, along with a white ruffled cravat around his neck. His coat sleeves have white ruffled cuffs. One of his hands is visible, resting on his lap. The background is a mix of dark brown and green tones.
