Portrait of a French man, René Descartes, shown in 3/4 view with a thoughtful expression. He is turning his head to look at the viewer. He has long, dark brown, wavy hair that falls to his shoulders, complemented by a thin mustache and soul patch. He wears a formal black robe over a stiff white collar. His right hand is visible at the bottom right, resting upon a dark, undefined object. The background is dark and plain, subtly lit to highlight his features and collar.
