This painting shows a bald man in profile, wearing a dark coat. His face is lit from the side, with warm yellow and orange tones on his cheek and forehead. The background is blurry but looks like a dim room with shelves and a window. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on his face, giving it a textured look. His expression is calm but serious, with a slight frown. This style of bold brushwork is called impasto.
