Visual Summary

Brief Description

A half-length portrait of a man with powdered white hair, a red coat, and sheet music

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait depicts a man with light skin and powdered white hair, turned slightly to his right but looking forward. His hair is styled in curls that frame his face and extend to his shoulders. He wears a bright red coat with large, light-colored buttons down the front. A white ruffled cravat is visible at his neck, and white ruffled cuffs extend from his sleeves. His right hand, with long fingers, holds a sheet of music paper covered with black musical notation. The left hand is partially obscured by the sheet music and his coat. The background is dark, with a deep brown on the left side and a darker, mottled green-brown on the right, suggesting a draped fabric behind him. The lighting highlights his face and the white elements of his attire.
