A vertically oriented oil painting depicts an older man with medium-light skin tone standing in snow with his head bowed. He wears a dark brown jacket and trousers while clutching a black cap in both hands. Behind him, a wall is covered with overlapping posters featuring French text. White snow covers the ground and a stone ledge. The composition is set within an ornate gold frame.
