Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man in a black hat, dark coat, and white lace collar gazes forward

Detailed Description

A vertical portrait painting depicts a man from the waist up, set against a plain, dark background. The man has a light complexion, with dark, wavy hair visible beneath a wide-brimmed black hat. He has a thin mustache and a small patch of hair below his lower lip. His dark eyes gaze directly forward. He wears a dark, possibly velvet, coat or cloak, which is largely obscured by a prominent, intricately patterned white lace collar with a scalloped edge that covers his shoulders and chest. White cuffs are visible at his wrists. His right hand, on the viewer's left, is raised to chest level, with fingers curled around a small, light-colored, irregularly shaped object. His left hand, on the viewer's right, is positioned lower near his hip, with the palm open and facing forward, fingers slightly spread. The background is a muted brownish-gray, with subtle variations in tone that create a soft glow around the man's head and shoulders, highlighting his features and hands.
