This painting depicts a man with a mustache and curly hair, wearing a white shirt with puffy sleeves and a dark vest. He is holding a glass in his right hand, which is extended outward. The background is dark, and the man's face is illuminated by a light source coming from the left side of the image. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his gaze is directed toward the viewer. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber, with the dark background and the man's serious expression creating a sense of gravity. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, with the contrast between light and dark areas drawing the viewer's attention to the man's face and hand.
