A young man with short brown hair and blue eyes is seated, looking slightly to the right. He wears a yellow undershirt and a dark blue and grey cardigan over dark trousers. His hands are clasped in his lap. Behind him is a window with bare tree branches visible outside, and a wooden door to his left.
