[1] In the inventory book of the National Art Museum of Azerbaijan, this work was erroneously recorded under the title "Man".

The torso of the dervish is depicted in front, and the face is in three quarters, while the legs are in full profile.

According to art historian Natalya Miklashevskaya, it resembles the face of a dancer, another work by Erivan of this period.

The collar, shoes, belt and pointed cap of the depicted are green; the dress and hat are trimmed with gold.
