The image is a black and white portrait of a young man standing in front of a dark background. He is wearing a long, dark robe with a high collar and long sleeves. He has short, dark hair and is looking directly at the camera with a serious expression on his face. The man is holding a book in his right hand and appears to be standing with his left hand resting on a wooden stand. The background is blurred, but it seems to be a room with a window and a curtain. The overall mood of the image is somber and contemplative.
