The portrait shows a bearded man in a simple white kurta, with one hand raised in front of him as if speaking or making a point. His expression is serious and focused, while the visible brushwork gives the face and clothing a painted, textured look.
The background is made up of deep brown and black tones with warm light around the figure. The close framing keeps attention on his face, raised hand and the contrast between the white kurta and the darker surroundings.
