Half-length portrait of a man in a dark cap and robe, hands clasped, in a gold arched frame
The artwork is an arched, half-length portrait of a man, presented within an ornate gold frame. The man, positioned slightly to the left, has light skin and his face is turned towards the left. His dark, shoulder-length hair is visible beneath a dark, close-fitting cap that covers the top of his head. He wears a dark outer garment, possibly a robe or coat, over a white collar that features a narrow, dark vertical stripe down the center of his chest. His hands are clasped together at chest level, with the fingers intertwined and palms facing each other. The background behind the figure is a plain, dark, muted green or blue color. The gold frame surrounding the portrait is intricately carved with a textured surface.
