The painting depicts an elderly man with a full white beard that cascades down his chest. The man is clothed in dark attire and is holding an open book in his left hand, suggesting he might be reading or studying. The dark clothing contrasts with the light background and the beige rectangle, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The background of the painting is rendered in warm tones of red and brown, giving the painting a rich ambiance. The background also suggests a cozy and intimate setting, perhaps a library or a study room. There is visible brushwork indicating this is indeed a painting. The strokes are thick and expressive, adding texture and movement to the painting. The brushwork also creates a sense of depth and perspective, as the background appears to recede behind the man.
