A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a man with light skin tone from the chest up, facing slightly left and looking at us. He has wavy brown hair and wears a dark coat over a pale yellow vest. A high, stiff white collar and ruffled fabric are sharply defined against his clothing. The neutral, shadowy background and soft lighting emphasize the smooth rendering of his face and steady, direct gaze.
