This portrait depicts a man standing in a dimly lit room, dressed in a gray suit with a dark tie and white shirt. He holds a cigar in his right hand and has a pool cue leaning against a green table to his left. The background is a beige wall with a dark doorway behind him. The man's attire and the setting suggest a formal yet relaxed atmosphere. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and contrast in the painting.
