Brief Description

Waist-up oil portrait of a young man with curly auburn hair, dark coat, white collar

Detailed Description

A vertical oil portrait depicts a young man positioned slightly to the right of the center, facing forward with his head turned slightly to his left. His fair skin features rosy cheeks and lips. He has light, wavy auburn hair that frames his face and falls to his ears. His eyes are light-colored, and his gaze is directed slightly upwards and to the left. He wears a dark, possibly black, coat with a wide, high white collar and a reddish-brown cravat or inner collar. The coat covers his shoulders and torso, extending down to the bottom edge of the canvas. His right hand is visible in the lower left corner, holding a piece of white paper or a letter. The background on the left is dominated by a rich, dark red curtain, draped vertically. To the right of the man, the background is a dark, muted green or brown, with hints of lighter, warmer tones. The overall lighting highlights the man's face and collar against the darker background.
