The man in this print is standing upright, partially turned to the left, with his hands behind his back. He has pale skin, a long nose, round cheeks, and a hint of a smile on his thin lips. He has short, neatly combed white hair and arched dark eyebrows, and he wears small round spectacles. The man is dressed in formal attire, including a long light-colored coat, a white waistcoat, trousers, and dark boots, with a high-collared shirt. He is holding a rolled object behind his back, like a rolled piece of paper. The background is plain, and the man casts a dark shadow on the blank ground.
