Brief Description

Portrait of a man with long dark hair, dark clothing, white collar, holding a hat

Detailed Description

A full-length portrait depicts a man standing against a plain, dark brown background. The man is positioned slightly to the viewer's right, with his head turned to face forward, looking directly out of the frame. He has a pale complexion, long, wavy, reddish-brown hair that reaches his shoulders, and dark eyes. He wears a dark, possibly black or very dark blue, long-sleeved coat that is buttoned down the front. A light blue or greyish-white collar is visible at his neck, topped with a white, ruffled cravat. His sleeves feature prominent, voluminous white ruffled cuffs. Around his waist, on his left side, are several vertical strips of fabric, appearing to be ribbons, in shades of light pink and white. His right hand is placed on his hip, while his left hand holds a dark, wide-brimmed hat, which rests at his side. The lighting illuminates his face and the white elements of his attire, creating a contrast with the darker tones of his clothing and the background.
