A vertically oriented oil painting in thick, textured brushstrokes depicts an older man with light skin tone and a long, bushy gray beard. He turns slightly to our right with a furrowed brow and downcast eyes. He wears a dark brown garment with a white patch at the neck, emerging from a dark, shadowy background. Small inscriptions appear in the top right corner.
