Head and shoulders shot of a man in a tailored suit jacket, pinstriped. It is an animated shot documentary style, not a resolved still pose. There is a sense of movement in it. The background is black and has a feeling of being shot in a studio, slightly formal.
The man is commanding, authoritative, and as if in mid-conversation or part of a dialogue. He has thinning hair, fine and white, trimmed neatly and a white beard and moustache, and wears large framed spectacles. His skin is a medium tone.
He has an air of being kindly and exudes a confidence and an assurance. His shoulders fill the width of the frame, giving him an imposing appearance. And he looks to be engaged with someone or something, an interlocutor, making a statement or arguing an important line of thought.
The eyes are interrogative, yet not hostile. There is a tenderness and a compassion there. The photo seems not to be about him, but of his outward project and an element of response or action is implied.
