A black and white image of a man in his late middle age. He is sat turned slightly so that he is not directly facing the viewer. Behind him hangs a curtain with a floral pattern. Immediately in front of him we can see the edge of a table, which is covered by a white tablecloth and upon which is placed a small glass.
