The image is a black and white etching depicting a full-length figure of a man, standing slightly turned to his left. The man appears to be of advanced age, with a long beard and moustache. He is garbed in elaborate clothing from a bygone era, suggestive of a 17th-century European style. He dons a large, round-brimmed hat with a feather or plume arching from it. The man wears a heavy, ornate cloak or cape with visible fur trim, which envelops his shoulders and falls loosely around him, suggesting a sense of weight and texture. Underneath the cape, he wears an embroidered doublet with a high, stiff collar, and his sleeves end in decorative cuffs. A chain with a medallion hangs around his neck and lies on his chest. The lower part of his attire includes balloon-like shorts (breeches) that puff out around his hips and are gathered at the knee where they meet his stockings or hose. His legs appear sturdy, and his feet are shod in what look to be buckle shoes. In his right hand, he holds a walking stick or cane which he leans upon slightly, and his left hand is obscured by the draping of his cape. To the right of the etching, there's a sketchy representation of the ground with some plant or shrub details, suggesting he is outdoors. A signature and date, possibly "Rembrandt f 163?", indicating the artist and year the etching was made, are found etched in the bottom right corner of the piece. It appears to be a work by the Dutch artist Rembrandt, who is renowned for his etchings as well as his paintings. It captures the texture, light, and shadow for which Rembrandt's work is celebrated, despite the black and white nature of the etching.
