The image shows a portrait of a man's upper body. He is slightly angled to the right with his gaze directed to the left. The man has a composed expression with defined facial features, including a prominent nose and slightly uplifted lips. His hair is white and styled in a formal manner with curls on the sides. He is wearing a blue coat with large buttons, a white high-collared shirt, and a white cravat. One of his hands is tucked into the coat. The background is a muted, greenish hue.
