The painting depicts a man with curly hair, wearing a dark jacket and white pants. He is holding a long stick in his right hand and appears to be looking up at something. The background of the painting is a light color, which contrasts with the darker tones of the man's clothing. The man's facial expression suggests that he is concentrating on something, and his posture implies that he is engaged in an activity that requires his full attention. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, with the man lost in thought.
