The head and upper body of a man can be seen. He is standing upright, his head turned slightly to the right side of the picture. He is looking into the distance and appears to be frowning slightly. He wears a beard with what we can assume are a few grey hairs. His hair is short. The man is wearing a light-coloured, buttoned-up jacket. The jacket has double rows of buttons and a wide collar. A lighter-coloured shirt can be seen underneath, buttoned up to the last button. The branches of a tree can be seen in the background on the right.
