Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man with long reddish-brown hair stands next to a female bust, wearing a satin coat

Detailed Description

A three-quarter length depiction shows a man positioned slightly to the right of the center, looking directly at the viewer. He has long, wavy, reddish-brown hair that falls over his shoulders. His face is fair, with rosy cheeks and dark eyes. He wears a light-colored, possibly silver or pale green, satin coat with voluminous sleeves and a white ruffled cuff visible on his right arm. A white collar is visible at his neck. A reddish-brown or rust-colored drapery is wrapped around his left arm and cascades down his body. To the left of the man, a white marble bust of a woman is positioned on a dark pedestal. The bust depicts a woman with a straight nose and full lips, her hair styled in waves and adorned with what appears to be a laurel wreath or similar headpiece. Her eyes are blank. The man's right hand rests on the bust's left shoulder area. The background is dark and muted. On the left, behind the bust, there is a hint of a landscape with a lighter sky and darker forms that suggest trees or distant hills. A dark, fluted column or architectural element rises behind the bust and the man's left side. To the right, behind the man, a dark, patterned curtain or tapestry is visible. The figures are illuminated against the darker setting.
