Brief Description

Half-length portrait of a man in a black hat, coat, and white collar, holding a folded paper

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait depicts a man against a dark, almost black background. He is positioned slightly to the right of the center, facing forward with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat that casts a shadow over the upper part of his face. His skin is light, and he has a small, reddish-brown mustache and a pointed goatee. His brown hair is visible beneath the hat, curling around his ears. A crisp white collar with a ruffled edge and a small white decorative element, possibly a tassel or lace, is visible at his neck. He is dressed in a dark, voluminous black coat that covers most of his body. His right hand, with light skin, rests on his chest or stomach, with fingers slightly spread. A hint of a reddish cuff is visible at his wrist. In the lower left corner of the painting, a small, folded piece of white paper with faint, illegible writing is visible, resting on a dark surface.
