Visual Summary

Brief Description

A chest-up portrait of a man with a receding hairline, clasped hands, and a fur-trimmed collar

Detailed Description

This is a vertical, chest-up portrait of a man against a dark, plain background. The man is positioned slightly to the right of the frame's center, with his body angled towards the left. His head is turned further, presenting his left profile, though his left eye is visible, looking towards the left edge of the frame. He has light-toned skin with visible wrinkles on his forehead and around his eyes. His hair is sparse on top, with light brown or gray, wavy hair visible around his ears and at the back of his head. His eyes are light-colored, and he has a straight nose and thin, closed lips. He wears a dark, deep red or maroon garment with a light, possibly cream or light brown, fur-trimmed collar that extends around his neck. His hands are clasped together at the bottom center of the frame, fingers intertwined and resting just below his chest. The hands are rendered with detailed knuckles and fingernails. The background is a uniform dark brown or black, providing a stark contrast that emphasizes the figure. Lighting from the upper left illuminates his face and hands.
