Full-length portrait of a man in dark clothing, with long hair, holding a hat and a glove
The painting is a full-length portrait of a man standing upright, facing slightly to the viewer's right, with his gaze directed forward. He is positioned centrally against a dark, plain background that appears to be a wall, with faint, ornate, golden-brown decorative elements visible along the left and right edges, suggesting a frame or architectural detail. The man has long, dark, wavy hair that falls to his shoulders, a dark mustache, and a small, pointed beard. He wears a dark, high-collared doublet with a small, round, gold-colored medallion hanging from a dark ribbon around his neck. His sleeves are made of a light-colored fabric, possibly silver or white, intricately patterned with a swirling, almost lace-like design. A dark cape is draped over his shoulders, covering parts of his arms and back. In his left hand, which is lighter in skin tone, he holds a wide-brimmed, dark hat, resting against his left thigh. His right hand, gloved in dark material, holds a white, intricately patterned lace handkerchief. He wears dark, knee-length breeches and light-colored, possibly white or pale grey, stockings that extend down to his dark, low-heeled shoes. The floor beneath him is a light brown or tan color, contrasting with the darker background and his attire.
