This portrait, painted on copper, shows a man sitting at a desk. He wears a dark blue jacket with gold embroidery and a light blue collar. The man's white hair is short, and he looks directly at the viewer. His right arm rests on the desk, where papers and a quill pen are placed. The background is a warm yellow wall with a darker section to the right. The overall atmosphere is formal, with the subject's attire and the setting suggesting a sense of importance. If you're interested in learning more about this style of portraiture, you might want to look up the artist Dmitry Yevreinov.
