Profile portrait of a man in a light gray hat and cloak against a dark background
A vertical portrait painting depicts a man in profile, facing left, against a solid dark background. The man has light skin, a prominent, long nose, and thin, closed lips. His light-colored eye looks straight ahead, and his dark brown, shoulder-length hair falls from beneath his hat. He wears a wide-brimmed, light gray hat with a small dark decoration and light ribbons on the crown and brim. A white, finely ruffled collar is visible around his neck, above a light gray garment. This garment, possibly a cloak or tunic, drapes over his shoulders and upper chest, showing soft, rounded folds. A slightly darker gray band outlines the upper edge of the garment. The bottom edge of the painting reveals a thin, irregular line of gold or light brown.
