The man's robe is decorated with gold accents and a large medal on a ribbon around his neck. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the man's white robe stand out. The painting is framed in an ornate gold frame with a decorative eagle on top. The painting is held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
