He wears a high crown hat with round brim buried his head, covering his forehead; a loose short-sleeved shirt with a collar and a pocket on the left chest. His right arm is along the body and the left hand is resting on the knee. The feet are flat on the beam of what looks like a bank where he is seated. Plain background.
