Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bearded man in a black hat and coat holds a paper, seated before a green curtain and teal wall

Detailed Description

A man is depicted from the waist up, with light skin, a full brown beard, and a mustache, looking directly forward. He wears a black beret-like hat and a dark, voluminous coat with wide sleeves. A white shirt with a patterned collar is visible beneath the coat. His hands are clasped at the bottom center of the frame, resting on a reddish-brown surface. His right hand holds a small, rectangular piece of white paper with several lines of handwritten script. To the left of his hands, a crumpled piece of white paper with illegible script lies on the same reddish-brown surface. The background on the left features a dark green, vertically draped curtain. The background on the right is a plain teal wall, with a thin, reddish-brown cord or rope extending diagonally from the upper right corner. In the bottom right corner, on the reddish-brown surface, the inscription "AN 1536 AETATIS 30" is visible.
