Waist-up portrait of a man in a dark blue uniform, holding a sword hilt
A waist-up portrait depicts a man against a dark, unadorned background. The man is positioned slightly to the right of the center, facing forward with his head turned slightly to his left, and his gaze directed towards the viewer. He has fair skin, a round face, and light-colored, shoulder-length hair that appears powdered or styled. His expression is neutral. He wears a dark blue uniform coat with a high, stiff red collar trimmed in white. A white cravat is visible at his neck. Two horizontal white stripes are on his left lapel. Below these stripes, a gold-colored medallion hangs from a red ribbon. Further down on his chest, a red cross-shaped insignia with a stylized hilt at its bottom is embroidered. The coat has a double row of dark buttons down the front. His right arm is bent, with his hand tucked into the front of his coat. His left arm is bent, and his gloved hand holds the hilt of a sword or dagger. The hilt is silver-colored with a chain-like guard. A white sash or apron-like garment is draped over his left hip and leg, with a red stripe along its visible edge. The cuffs of his uniform sleeves are red with three horizontal white stripes. The background is a solid, dark gray or black.
