The painting depicts a man in a long black coat with a white shirt and black bow tie. His hands are clasped in front of him, and he has a ring on his right hand. The background is dark, with a lighter area on the right side. The man's face is serious, with a white mustache and beard. His eyes are looking straight ahead, and his eyebrows are slightly furrowed. The overall atmosphere of the painting is somber and formal. This painting is a great example of the work of artist Léon Bonnat.
