A vertically oriented oil painting in thick brushstrokes depicts a man with light skin tone, a bald head, and prominent white mustache and sideburns. He turns slightly to our left and looks at us, wearing a dark jacket and white neckwear. He emerges from a dark, reddish-brown background with his hand partially visible at the bottom left. Red initials mark the bottom right corner of the heavily textured, layered surface.
