A middle-aged man with a full beard is depicted in three-quarter view in this oil on canvas portrait by Ivan Kramskoi, painted in the second half of the 19th century. The sitter's head and shoulders are shown against a dark, muted background, with the light falling softly from the left, highlighting the contours of his face and the texture of his hair and beard. The man wears a dark coat with a high collar over a white shirt, and his expression appears thoughtful and reserved.

The brushwork is precise and naturalistic, with careful attention to the play of light and shadow on the skin and fabric. Portrait of a Man belongs to a tradition of realist portraiture in Russia during the 19th century, a period when artists such as Ivan Kramskoi were known for their psychological insight and unembellished representation of their subjects. The painting measures 31.5 by 26 centimeters and is executed in oil on canvas. It is held in the National Museum in Warsaw (inventory 130271).
