A half-length portrait of a man in a black hat and coat against a dark green background
A half-length portrait of a man is presented within an arched, dark wooden frame. The man is positioned slightly to the left of center, facing forward with his head turned slightly to his right, and his gaze directed straight ahead. He has fair skin, light reddish-brown hair cut in a bob style that reaches his ears, and a faint reddish-brown beard and mustache. His eyes are light-colored. He wears a flat, wide-brimmed black hat adorned with a white embroidered monogram, possibly "HR," on the front, and several small, dark studs along the brim. Beneath the hat, his hair is visible. He is dressed in a high-collared white shirt with ruffles at the neck, covered by a dark, possibly black, coat or tunic. The coat has a wide, flat collar and features three prominent, elongated, white, leaf-like or shell-like ornaments hanging vertically from a black cord across his chest. The background behind the man is a solid, dark olive-green color, with visible brushstrokes and some lighter areas suggesting texture.
