A sepia-toned drawing portrays a long-haired man facing the viewer with a hand on his hip and his hat in the other. He wears a long coat with many buttons, a scarf tied around his neck, stockings, and low-heeled shoes. The hat in his left hand features a large brim and one or more
feathers. Navigation tools, including maps, compasses, and a globe, sit atop the table that the man leans on. From the view outside of the tent flap there are ships and groups of individuals present, suggesting the man is near the sea.
