This painting is a portrait of a man with a ruffled collar and a dark, fur-trimmed coat. The man has short hair and a beard, and he is looking directly at the viewer. The background of the painting is a solid gray color. The man's clothing and hairstyle suggest that he is a man of some importance, possibly a professor or a member of the upper class. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the man's facial features and clothing. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
