Brief Description

Man in dark hat, fur-trimmed coat, holding a sword, wearing an ornate neck chain

Detailed Description

A black and white, waist-up portrait depicts a man facing slightly right with a neutral expression. He wears a large, dark, flat-topped hat adorned with several small, round, light-toned decorative elements along its brim and a larger, oval-shaped ornament on the right side. Dark, ear-length hair frames his light-toned face, which features a prominent nose and a small mouth. He is dressed in a dark, fur-trimmed coat, visible over his shoulders and upper chest. Beneath the fur, he wears a dark garment, possibly a doublet. Around his neck is a heavy, ornate chain, composed of interconnected, decorative links. A central pendant, featuring a circular element with radiating lines and a dangling, leaf-like motif, hangs from the chain. His left hand, positioned in the lower center, firmly grips the hilt of a long, slender sword. The sword's hilt has a twisted design, and its blade extends diagonally upwards across his chest towards the upper left corner of the frame. His right hand, visible on the lower right, rests on a dark, spherical object. The background is a light, textured surface with a pattern of small, evenly spaced dark dots. The figure is centered in the composition.
