Brief Description

Painting of a man with wavy brown hair, a mustache, and a dark coat with a white collar

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait depicts a man with light skin, wavy brown hair, and a light brown mustache, set against a dark, unadorned background. He is positioned slightly to the viewer's right, with his head turned to face forward, his gaze directed straight ahead. His face is full, with a prominent nose and small, dark eyes. He wears a dark, long-sleeved garment, possibly a coat, which appears to be made of a heavy fabric. A wide, flat white collar extends over his shoulders, contrasting sharply with the dark fabric. White cuffs are visible at his wrists. His left arm is bent, with his hand resting on a light-colored, horizontal surface that extends from the lower left edge of the frame. His right arm is also bent, and his hand, positioned near the center of the lower edge, holds a crumpled piece of light brown or beige fabric. The lighting comes from the upper left, illuminating his face, collar, and hands, creating a strong contrast with the deep shadows of his clothing and the dark background.
