Bust-length self portrait of the artist depicted in a domestic setting with a still life arrangement. He is seen in profile to the right, with his back facing the left edge of the painting and his head turned in three-quarter view towards the viewer. Depicted as a youthful man, he has brown hair and a beard and wears a jacket with white shirt and blue tie. Beside him is a table or sideboard with a still life arrangement comprising of a bottle of white wine, a rose, a lemon and two oranges, and an oriental ginger jar at the extreme right edge, behind which are the leafy stems of a plant. Hung on the wall above the still life composition, although only partially visible, is the bottom edge of a painting in an impressionist style. Behind the artist is a shadowy doorway.
