The image is a black and white drawing of a man, identified as a Falconer by John Van Eyck, from the first half of the fifteenth century. The drawing is done in a detailed, textured style with many fine lines. The man is depicted from the chest up, facing slightly to the right. He is wearing a soft, rounded hat that appears to be made of fur or a similar material. His clothing consists of a tunic or jacket with a high collar. The tunic is detailed with many lines suggesting folds and texture. In his hands, he holds a small bird, likely a falcon, which is the subject of his profession. The bird is delicately rendered with attention to its feathers and form. The background is lightly sketched, suggesting a wall or interior space. There is a hint of a window or opening in the upper right corner. The overall impression is one of a detailed and realistic portrait, typical of the early Renaissance style.
