Head-and-shoulders portrait of a bearded man in a dark cap and coat, dark green background
The painting is a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man, positioned slightly to the left of the frame and facing towards the right. His gaze is directed to the right, beyond the canvas. He has a full, reddish-brown beard that covers his cheeks and chin, and short, dark hair is visible beneath his cap. He wears a dark, flat, round cap that covers the top of his head. His skin tone is light, with subtle pinkish tones on his cheeks and nose. His eyes are dark brown, and his lips are a muted pink. He is dressed in a dark, possibly black, garment that covers his shoulders and chest. A crisp white collar stands high around his neck, contrasting sharply with the dark fabric of his clothing and beard. The garment appears simple, with no visible embellishments. The background is a dark, muted green, with subtle variations in tone that suggest a textured surface or a wall. The lighting is soft, illuminating his face and the white collar, creating a gentle contrast with the darker areas of his clothing and the background.
