The image is a portrait of a man with a long beard and mustache. He appears to be in his late 40s or early 50s, with dark hair and a full beard. He has a serious expression on his face and is looking directly at the viewer with a slight smile. He is wearing a dark blue robe with a white collar and a black shawl draped over his shoulders. The background is dark, making the man's face the focal point of the image. The painting is done in a realistic style, with loose brushstrokes and attention to detail.
