The image shows the upper half of a man's body. He is standing in a slight profile facing towards the right side of the image. The man has an aged appearance, with prominent cheekbones and a bushy beard. He has a bald head with hair around the sides. He wears loose-fitting clothing with folds, a long-sleeved garment. He holds a hat in his left hand and a walking stick in his right hand. The background is plain, with no additional details, signatures, and a date in the top and bottom corners.
