He is dressed in 18th-century attire, wearing a brown coat with matching waistcoat and breeches, complemented by a white shirt with lace cuffs and a cravat. The man holds a sword with a decorative handle in his right hand. Beside him, there is a table covered with a green cloth, on which some books are placed. The background features a dark wall with a framed painting, and a red curtain partially visible on the left.
