Brief Description

Portrait of a young man with reddish-blonde hair and a dark cap against a dark background

Detailed Description

A head and shoulders portrait depicts a young man with fair skin, turned slightly to the left, looking forward. His reddish-blonde, wavy hair falls to his shoulders, framing his face. He has light blue eyes, a small nose, and closed lips forming a subtle smile. He wears a dark, soft cap that covers the top of his head and a dark tunic or shirt with a high neckline. A narrow white collar is visible at his neck, secured by a small white tie or clasp. The background is a solid, dark, almost black color, providing a stark contrast to his illuminated face. Light appears to illuminate his features from the left.
