A vertically oriented oil painting depicts a man with light skin tone facing us against a muted brown background. He has dark, wavy hair and dark eyes looking forward. He wears a high white collar, a dark neckcloth, and a dark coat. Light from our left illuminates his face, while the faint red of an upholstered chair emerges in the lower corners, anchoring his figure within the otherwise shadowy scene.
