Brief Description

Black and white portrait of a man with dark curly hair, ruffled cravat, and dark coat

Detailed Description

A black and white, half-length portrait shows a man against a plain, light gray background. The man is positioned slightly to the left of the center, with his body turned slightly to the right. His head is turned back towards the viewer, and his eyes look directly forward. He has a fair complexion, with dark, curly, voluminous hair that frames his face and extends into sideburns. His eyebrows are dark and arched, and his eyes are open. His nose is prominent, and his lips are closed in a neutral expression. He wears a high-collared, dark-colored coat with wide lapels. Beneath the coat, a white, intricately ruffled cravat or shirt front is visible, extending from his neck down to the center of his chest. The ruffles are layered and create a textured, voluminous appearance. The coat has several dark, circular buttons visible on the front, arranged vertically. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, casting subtle shadows that define the contours of his face and the folds of his clothing. The background is a uniform light gray, slightly darker on the right side.
