This portrait shows a man's head and shoulders, turned to the right. He has short, curly hair and is wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt. The background is plain, with no other details visible. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking off into the distance. The etching is done in fine detail, with delicate lines and shading that give the image depth and texture.
