A man with a mustache wears a white turban, red vest, and green shawl, holding a silver dagger
A half-length portrait depicts a man with fair skin, dark hair, and a prominent dark mustache, looking directly forward. He wears a large, intricately wrapped white turban with patterned bands of green and red floral motifs. His attire includes a white long-sleeved shirt, a vibrant red vest with elaborate gold-colored embroidery along the edges and lower front, and a dark green shawl draped over his left shoulder and across his chest, also featuring subtle embroidery. His right hand, positioned in the lower right quadrant, holds a silver-colored dagger with an ornate hilt, partially sheathed in a gold-colored scabbard. The background is a plain, dark brown or black, providing a strong contrast to the figure. On the right side of the background, light-colored script reads "H. G. Grivas 1844".
