Shown from about the knees up, a man with peachy skin, wearing a voluminous black cloak and a tall, brimmed hat, looks directly at us in this vertical portrait painting. His body is angled to our left and he turns his face to look at us with brown eyes. He has a wispy, brown mustache over his pale pink lips, which are closed. He has a slight double chin and his reddish-brown hair falls to his shoulders. His wide, brimmed hat has a tall crown, which tapers a bit near the top. His black cloak falls over his arms and body, and has a wide, flat, white collar. Two white tassels hang below the split down the front of the collar. His left hand, to our right, is braced against the arm of a chair, and he rests his hand around the wooden end of the chair's arm. The wall behind him is brick-red with a coffee-brown rectangle to our left. Two vertical, fawn-brown stripes run down the red wall to our right, behind the man. Brushstrokes are visible in some areas, as in the man’s face, and a network of cracks runs across the surface of the canvas.
