The painting shows a man's head and upper torso in profile. He's wearing a dark coat and light cravat. This portrait is one of many small circular ones made by the artist, which is an interesting fact about this work. The artist likely made many of these to practice or to create a series. You can learn more about this style at the museum: National Gallery of Art, Washington.
