The painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt and a dark bow tie. The background is a solid dark color. The man's facial expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting is done in oil paint, and the brushstrokes are visible, giving the image a sense of texture and depth. This painting is held at the Scottish National Gallery, and it's a great example of the work of artist John Graham Gilbert.
