This portrait depicts a man with a mustache, wearing a light-colored suit jacket over a white collared shirt and a dark tie. The background is dark, with hints of green on the right side. The subject's expression is serious, and his gaze is directed slightly to the right of the viewer. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
