Brief Description

Portrait of an older man with a long white beard, red cap, and fur-trimmed coat

Detailed Description

A head-and-shoulders portrait depicts an older man with light skin, a long white beard, and a red cap, set against a dark, unadorned background. The man's face is centered, with his gaze directed forward. His skin shows visible wrinkles around his eyes and forehead. A prominent, full white beard and mustache frame his face, extending down to his chest in wavy strands. He wears a soft, reddish-brown cap that sits high on his head, its fabric appearing gathered and somewhat flattened. Below his chin, a dark, possibly green, garment is visible, over which a heavy, dark brown fur-trimmed coat is draped. A gold chain with a circular, ornate pendant hangs around his neck, resting on the green garment. The lighting illuminates his face and beard, creating a contrast with the darker tones of his clothing and the background.
