This painting features a man with a turban and a beard, dressed in dark clothing. He has a moustache and is depicted from the chest up, set against a dark background. The man's gaze is directed to the left side of the image, and his expression appears serious. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create depth and contrast in the painting, with the subject's face and clothing standing out against the dark background.
