Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man with light skin and dark hair holds an open book, gazing forward

Detailed Description

A vertical portrait shows a man from the chest up, against a plain, dark olive-green background. The man has light skin, a high forehead, and dark, receding hair. His dark eyes gaze directly forward, and his lips are closed in a neutral expression. His cheeks appear subtly flushed. He wears an open-collared white shirt with a visible ruffled or embroidered edge at the neckline. A large, flowing brown drapery wraps around his left shoulder and arm, extending across his chest. A small section of a dark green garment is visible beneath the brown drapery on his right. His right hand holds an open, light yellow-brown book, angled slightly towards the viewer. The visible edge of the book's pages displays vertical text: 'ΙΛΙΑΣ'. The man's face and the book are well-lit, suggesting a light source from the upper left.
