The image shows a man depicted from head to knee, leaning forward with one leg slightly forward. He has a bushy beard, moustache, curly hair under a round-brimmed hat, and wears a suit with a checkered pattern. He holds a walking stick in his left hand, positioned near his chest. The background is minimalistic with a shadowy figure holding a small object to the left of the man, set against a plain, light-colored backdrop.
