Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bald man in a dark robe with clasped hands, against a plain teal background

Detailed Description

A vertical painting shows a man, depicted from the chest up, positioned centrally against a plain, dark teal background. The man has a round, pale face with a prominent double chin. His head is mostly bald, with short, dark brown hair visible above his ears and around the back of his head. His eyebrows are light brown, and his light-colored eyes look slightly to the viewer's right. His nose is straight, and his lips are thin and closed. He wears a dark robe that covers his shoulders and arms. The fabric appears heavy, with subtle folds and shadows, and a dark collar is visible around his neck. His hands are clasped together in front of his chest, fingers intertwined, with the knuckles slightly reddened. The hands are rendered with detail, showing the texture of the skin and fingernails. A narrow, dark brown border is visible along the top edge of the painting.
