Brief Description

A man with a dark beard and cap, wearing a dark robe, holding papers

Detailed Description

A waist-up portrait of a man is presented within an oval frame, set against a dark, muted background. The man, positioned slightly to the right of center, faces forward with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has fair skin, a short dark beard and mustache, and dark hair visible beneath a soft, dark, four-cornered cap. He wears a dark, possibly black or deep blue, long-sleeved garment that appears to be a robe or coat, featuring a prominent white, ruffled collar that stands up around his neck. Matching white ruffled cuffs are visible at his wrists. His left hand, positioned in the lower right quadrant, holds a small stack of light-colored papers or a thin book. A portion of a red chair with gold-colored decorative elements is visible behind him on the left side of the composition. The background is a dark, indistinct brown, providing a stark contrast to the man's face and white collar.
