Brief Description

A man with white hair, wearing a dark red coat, holds spectacles over paper

Detailed Description

The painting is a waist-up portrait of a man with light skin, seated against a dark, indistinct background. He faces forward, looking directly at the viewer. His face is round with a ruddy complexion, and he has light blue eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. His sparse white hair is brushed back from his forehead and curls slightly at the sides above his ears. He wears a dark brown buttoned waistcoat over a white ruffled shirt or cravat, visible at his neck. Over the waistcoat, he wears a voluminous, dark red velvet coat with wide lapels and a fur-lined collar that drapes over his shoulders and arms. His left arm rests on a surface, and his left hand, with visible knuckles, holds a pair of small, silver-rimmed spectacles over a sheet of white paper. The paper is placed on a dark, possibly wooden, surface that extends across the bottom of the frame. The background is a deep, dark green or brown, with subtle variations in tone suggesting a draped fabric or a shadowed interior. The lighting illuminates his face and hands, creating a contrast with the darker tones of his clothing and the background.
