Man in dark military uniform with silver braiding, holding a sword, against cloudy background
A full-length portrait depicts a man in a military uniform, positioned slightly to the viewer's right, with his head turned to look towards the left. He has light brown, curly hair, fair skin with rosy cheeks, and light-colored eyes. His expression is neutral. The background is a muted, cloudy blend of warm brown tones on the left and cooler blue-grey tones on the right. The man wears a dark blue or black military jacket, heavily adorned with horizontal rows of silver braiding across the chest. A high white collar is visible beneath a black cravat, topped by a yellow or gold-trimmed collar. A light-colored sash or strap crosses his chest from his right shoulder to his left hip. On his left chest, a star-shaped medal with a red cross at its center is prominently displayed. His long sleeves are dark, matching the jacket, and feature intricate silver braided designs at the cuffs. A wide, deep red sash is wrapped around his waist, cinching the jacket. Below the jacket, he wears light brown or tan trousers. His right hand, positioned at the lower left of the canvas, rests on the hilt of a sword, which points downwards. The sword has a dark blade and a decorative tassel near the hilt. His left hand is mostly obscured by his body and the red sash.
