Black and white portrait of a man wearing a dark hat and fur-trimmed coat
A black and white, head-and-shoulders portrait depicts a man facing forward against a dark, plain background. The man's skin appears light, and he has dark eyes that look directly ahead. A small, dark beard and mustache frame his mouth. His dark, curly hair is visible on the left side of his head, extending from beneath a dark, round, flat cap. He wears a coat with a prominent fur trim around the collar and shoulders, which appears textured and shaggy. Down the front of his coat, a series of dark, leaf-shaped fasteners or buttons are visible. The overall image has a slightly grainy texture, and visible brushstrokes are present throughout the background and clothing.
