Brief Description

Bust-length portrait of a man with powdered white hair, a red military coat, and gold epaulets

Detailed Description

A bust-length portrait depicts a man with light skin and light blue eyes, against a dark, plain background. The man is positioned slightly to the viewer's left, with his head turned to face forward. He has powdered white hair styled in curls around his ears. His facial expression is neutral. His cheeks are lightly flushed. He wears a red military coat with a dark blue collar and gold trim. On his right shoulder, a gold epaulet with intricate tassels is visible. The coat features several gold buttons down the front, though only a few are clearly visible on the right side of his chest. Beneath the red coat, a ruffled white shirt or cravat is visible around his neck and chest. The background is a uniform dark brown or black. In the upper left corner, light-colored script reads "Sir Paul Pechell B:"
