This painting shows a man with curly red hair, wearing a dark jacket with red accents and a white shirt. He is sitting with his right arm resting on a red cloth draped over his lap. The man's gaze is directed to the right side of the image, and his facial expression is serious. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to focus attention on the subject.
