The painting depicts an elderly man with a stern expression, dressed in a dark vest and tie. He has a receding hairline and a white beard. The background is a plain, off-white color. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest that the painting is from the late 19th century. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the image.
