The image is a portrait of a man's face. The man appears to be African-American and has a serious expression on his face. He is wearing a yellow hat with a wide brim and a black band around the crown. His eyes are closed and his mouth is slightly open, as if he is deep in thought. He has a beard and mustache and is looking directly at the camera. The background is black, making the man's features stand out. The painting is done in a realistic style, with bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors.
