This portrait depicts an unknown man sitting in a chair, dressed in a blue jacket over a white shirt and tan pants. He has white hair and rests his arms on the chair's armrests. A yellow cloth is draped over the armrest on the right side of the image. The background of the painting is dark, with some indistinct objects visible behind the man. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and introspective. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's face and hands.
