Visual Summary

Brief Description

Man in blue cap and brown coat sits in arched window, holding palette and book

Detailed Description

A man is seated within a dark arched window opening, looking directly forward. He has light skin, medium-length brown hair, and a mustache. He wears a blue cap, a white ruffled collar, a brown coat with a dark sash, and a striped fabric draped over his lap. His left hand rests on an open book, while his right hand holds a painter's palette with dabs of paint and several brushes. Behind him, a dark red curtain is draped on the left side of the archway. To his left, on a stone ledge, a terracotta-colored pot with ornate carvings holds a green plant with small orange flowers. To his right, a wooden birdcage hangs from a dark wall, with a small red cup attached to its side. A vine with green leaves climbs up the right side of the archway and across the top. The background behind the man is dark, and the overall lighting is dim, with light illuminating his face, hands, and the open book.
