Black and white portrait of a man with a pointed beard, mustache, and a dark feathered hat
A black and white, head-and-shoulders portrait of a man, positioned slightly to the left of the frame, facing towards the viewer's right, with his gaze directed forward. His skin appears light against the dark background and clothing. He has a prominent, straight nose, small eyes, and thin lips. A pointed beard extends from his chin, and a mustache covers his upper lip, both appearing dark. His hair, also dark, is short and mostly covered by his hat. He wears a dark, flat cap on his head, which is adorned with a large, light-colored, feathery plume positioned on the right side of his head, extending upwards and outwards. His attire consists of a dark, high-collared jacket or doublet, buttoned down the front with several small, round buttons. The fabric of his garment shows subtle texture. The background is a plain, dark tone, appearing slightly lighter around his head and shoulders, with some visible signs of age or texture on the surface. The man's head and shoulders fill most of the frame.
