This portrait depicts a man in a dark suit, with a white shirt and a white flower on his lapel. The background is a mix of earth tones, with hints of red and green. The man's face is the focal point, with a serious expression. His eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer, while his mouth is set in a firm line. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, highlighting the subject's features. The painting is a great example of Konstantin Korovin's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects.
