Visual Summary

Brief Description

A painted portrait of a man with a mustache, long brown hair, and a black hat

Detailed Description

An oil painting depicts a man's portrait from the chest up, set against a dark, plain background. The man is positioned slightly to the left of the center, with his body angled towards the right, and his head turned to face directly forward. He has a light skin tone with ruddy cheeks and a prominent nose. His dark eyes look straight ahead. A thick, dark brown mustache covers his upper lip, and a small patch of dark hair, possibly a goatee, is visible on his chin. His long, curly, dark brown hair falls to his shoulders, framing his face. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat with a textured surface, sitting high on his head. Beneath his chin, a white, ruffled collar is visible, contrasting with his dark attire. He is dressed in a dark, possibly black or very dark brown, coat or cloak that appears to have a velvet-like texture, covering his shoulders and upper chest. The background is a uniform dark brown, with a slightly lighter area visible behind his right shoulder, which illuminates his face and the white collar. Visible brushstrokes contribute to the texture of the hat and clothing.
