Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bearded man in a red tunic and black cap, facing right

Detailed Description

A chest-up depiction shows a man in profile, facing right, against a plain light gray background. He has fair skin, a full reddish-brown beard and mustache, and light-colored eyes that look straight ahead. His nose is prominent, and his lips are closed. He wears a soft, black, rounded cap that covers his hair. His garment is a deep, rich red, possibly velvet, with visible folds and creases, particularly on the sleeves and torso. A wide black band or stole is draped diagonally over his left shoulder and across his chest. The man is positioned behind a light gray horizontal ledge or barrier that extends across the bottom of the painting. Light illuminates the man from the left, highlighting his features and the texture of his clothing, while casting a soft shadow on the right side of his face and behind him.
