This painting shows a man with white hair, wearing a blue military jacket with gold accents and a blue sash across his chest. He has several medals pinned to his jacket. The man's expression is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is a muted gray color, which helps to focus attention on the subject.
