Detailed Description
A full-length depiction of a man is seated against a plain, warm brown background. The man occupies the central vertical axis of the composition, facing directly forward. He wears a dark, possibly black, cap that covers his head. His face is light-skinned with a long, white beard and mustache. His eyes are dark, and his expression is neutral. He is dressed in a voluminous, long-sleeved robe that is primarily a muted blue color. The robe features dark, thin trim along its edges, including the collar, the front opening, and the wide cuffs of the sleeves. The sleeves are very wide, concealing his hands almost entirely within their folds. A hint of red fabric, possibly a lining or an undergarment, is visible at the shoulders and along the sides of the robe, particularly near the bottom. His feet, clad in red shoes, rest on a low, dark rectangular platform or footrest that is barely visible beneath the hem of his robe. In the upper left corner, a vertical column of dark characters is visible.
