The subject is rendered with loose brushstrokes, yet there's a notable attention to the texture and flow of the coat, as well as the subtle details of the figure's attire and demeanour.
The figure's face is sketched with minimal detail, allowing the viewer to focus on the movement and form of the clothing. The background is suggested rather than fully defined, with sketchy lines hinting at an urban environment, perhaps the bustling streets of a city in the winter season.
