Brief Description

Half-length portrait of a man with long brown hair, white collar, and a dark hat on a table

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait of a man seated against a dark, muted background. The man is positioned slightly to the left of the center, facing forward with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has an oval-shaped face with light skin, brown eyes, and a small, light brown mustache. His long, wavy brown hair falls to his shoulders. He wears a dark, possibly black, coat with a wide, flat white collar that extends over his shoulders. His right arm is bent, with his hand resting on his lap, mostly obscured by the dark fabric of his coat. His left arm is extended, with his hand resting on a reddish-brown table to his right. The cuff of his left sleeve is white and pleated. On the table, to the right of the man, rests a dark, wide-brimmed hat. The background is a dark, greenish-brown, with subtle variations in tone that suggest a plain wall. The lighting highlights the man's face and hands, creating a contrast with his dark attire and the somber background.
