Man with a plump face and mustache smiles broadly, looking at the viewer. He wears a very wide-brimmed dark hat over his dark brown, shoulder-length, curly hair. His attire includes a white, wide, starched collar with a delicate lace trim, worn over a dark doublet or jacket with long sleeves and visible buttons. He is seated, angled slightly to the right, playing a violin with a bow. The background is a plain, dark, muted brown, with soft, directional light illuminating his face and the instrument from the left.
