A man in a black robe and white wig stands by a table with a book and an armchair.
A full-length portrait depicts a man standing in a room, facing slightly to the viewer's right with his gaze directed forward. He has fair skin, a round face, and light-colored eyes. His head is adorned with a white, powdered wig featuring curls that frame his face and a queue extending down his back. He is dressed in a black clerical robe, a white cravat, and a white band collar. His left arm rests on a large, dark book placed on a table to his left, while his right hand is tucked into the front of his robe. He wears dark shoes. To the man's left, a tall, narrow opening reveals a light blue sky with white clouds. Below this opening, a dark wooden table is covered with a rich red and gold patterned cloth, featuring geometric designs and floral motifs. To the man's right, a large, upholstered armchair with reddish-brown fabric and brass tacks along its edges is visible. The chair has carved wooden arms and legs. The background consists of a dark brown wall, with a fluted column partially visible behind the man on the left. A draped piece of dark green fabric hangs in the upper right corner. The floor is a plain, dark color. Light enters the scene from the left, illuminating the man's face and the left side of the room.
