Brief Description

Portrait of a man in a red military coat with gold epaulets against a dark background

Detailed Description

This is a half-length portrait of a man, facing forward, against a dark, indistinct background. The man's head and torso fill the central portion of the canvas. He has light, wavy hair that falls to his shoulders, framing a fair-skinned face with rosy cheeks. His eyes are light-colored and look directly forward, and his lips are closed in a neutral expression. He wears a high-collared, dark coat or jacket under a bright red outer coat. The red coat features a dark collar, gold-colored epaulets on each shoulder, and a row of gold-colored buttons down the front. A white, ruffled cravat or jabot is visible at his neck, contrasting with the dark inner garment and red outer coat. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, highlighting his face and the details of his uniform. The background is a deep, uniform brown-black, providing a strong contrast to the subject's lighter skin and vibrant red coat. The brushstrokes are visible, particularly in the fabric of the coat and the texture of the hair.
