The painting depicts a man dressed in black, holding a rose in his right hand. He wears a black hat and a black jacket with a white collar. The background is a dark greenish-brown color. The man's attire and the rose he holds suggest a sense of elegance and refinement. The artist's use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. This painting is a fine example of the work of Ambrosius Benson.
