A man with a mustache and goatee, in a striped cap, dark vest, and light robe
A chest-up portrait painting depicts a man with a mustache and goatee, facing slightly right but looking directly forward. He wears a light blue and off-white striped cap with a dark tassel hanging on the left side of his head. His face is rendered with thick, visible brushstrokes in shades of light brown, yellow, and pink, with dark, defined eyebrows and eyes. A prominent nose and dark mustache and goatee frame his mouth. He is dressed in a dark, possibly black, vest or jacket over a white shirt, with a reddish-brown tie or cravat at his neck. A voluminous, light-colored, off-white or cream-colored robe with wide lapels is draped over his shoulders, covering his arms and upper body. The background is a textured, muted gray, providing a neutral backdrop for the figure. The entire painting exhibits a strong impasto technique, with the paint applied thickly, creating a tactile surface.
