The painting depicts a man sitting in a chair, with his left arm resting on a table and his right arm extended. He is wearing a black leather vest over a red shirt with a high collar, and his sleeves are adorned with intricate stitching. The man's facial expression is serious, and he has a well-groomed beard. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Antonis Mor.
