The image shows a man standing in profile wearing formal attire. He has short, wavy, graying hair, a prominent nose, and a slightly furrowed brow. The man's posture suggests his hands are in his pockets. There are no visible objects or jewelry on him. The background is light-toned, with a shaded floor. The artwork is signed by "h. Daumier" and titled "M'DE RIGN."
