The work depicts a man, presumably the artist, in a dark hat and black bow tie, gazing directly at the viewer. His introspective pose and direct gaze create a sense of mutual scrutiny.

The painting features loose brushstrokes, particularly around the subject's face and clothing, and a blurred background that hints at another artwork on the wall. The overall effect is one of spontaneity and informality.
