The painting features a man sitting in a chair, wearing a hat and a long coat with buttons down the front. He has a beard and mustache, and his right hand is resting on his chin. The background of the painting is a light color, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The man's clothing and hairstyle suggest that he is from a past era, and the style of the painting is reminiscent of Romanticism. The artist has used a range of techniques to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting, including cross-hatching and engraving.
