The man in the painting has a serious expression on his face, and his hair is neatly combed. He is wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a black tie. His eyes are looking off to the side, and he has a slight smile on his lips. The text on the paper is written in a cursive font, and the background of the painting is a light blue color.
