Brief Description

Oval portrait of a man with white hair in a reddish-brown coat, within an ornate gold frame

Detailed Description

A vertical, oval portrait of a man is centered within a highly decorative gold frame, set against a plain black background. The man is depicted from the chest up, facing slightly to the right with his gaze directed forward. He has a fair complexion, a broad forehead, and a double chin. His white, wavy hair reaches his shoulders. He wears a reddish-brown coat with a wide, light brown fur collar, and a white ruffled cravat is visible at his neck. His expression is neutral. The background of the portrait itself is a plain, light gray-brown. Faint, illegible text is visible on the right side of the portrait's background. The ornate gold frame is oval-shaped, enclosing the portrait. At the top, a large laurel wreath is centered, with a coiled serpent forming a loop below it. The sides of the frame are adorned with intertwined leafy branches and more coiled serpents. At the bottom, a rectangular cartouche is centered, bearing the word "VIR" in capital letters. Two stylized animal heads, possibly lions or rams, flank the cartouche, facing outwards. Additional leafy ornamentation extends below these heads.
