A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a man with light skin tone from the chest up, turned slightly to our left while looking at us. He has wavy brown hair and a thick mustache. He wears a dark jacket with a high black collar over a white shirt edge. Light from our right highlights his features against the dark, muted background rendered in subtle brushstrokes.
