Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man in a dark hat holds a folded object; gold text and numbers are visible

Detailed Description

A portrait of a man with light skin and reddish-brown hair is depicted from the chest up, set against a dark brown background with an arched top. The man's head is turned slightly to his right, and his gaze is directed towards the right side of the frame. He has a neutral expression, with dark eyes and small, light pink lips. He wears a dark, flat cap that covers most of his hair, a white high-collared shirt, and a dark, V-neck outer garment. Beneath the dark outer garment, a patterned grey fabric with a subtle leaf or scroll motif is visible on his chest and sleeves. His right hand, positioned in the lower center, holds a small, folded piece of light-colored cloth or paper. On the ring finger of his left hand, which rests lower and to the right, a gold ring with a reddish stone is visible. In the upper left corner, the word "ANNO" is inscribed in gold, and in the upper right corner, the numbers "1535" are similarly inscribed.
