The painting depicts a man sitting in a chair, facing the viewer. He is dressed in a dark suit with a white shirt and a dark tie. His hair is short and light-colored, and he has a mustache. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The man's posture suggests that he is relaxed and comfortable, with his right arm resting on the armrest of the chair. His facial expression is neutral, giving little away about his thoughts or emotions. The overall effect of the painting is one of calmness and serenity.
