A seated man, shown in three-quarter view, sitting with a calm, composed expression. He wears a turban and a layered garment with a vest, sash, and loose trousers. His facial hair includes a moustache and a goatee, and his gaze is directed outward. He holds a long-stemmed pipe (hookah or chibouk), which he appears to be smoking, with one hand resting on his lap and the other supporting the pipe.The shading and cross-hatching are precise and intricate, creating texture and depth in the folds of the clothing and the man’s features.
