Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man in a dark fur hat and ruffled collar holds a metallic tankard, looking down smiling

Detailed Description

A bust-length portrait depicts a man against a dark, muted olive-green background with visible brushstrokes. The man is positioned slightly off-center to the left, his head tilted downwards and turned slightly to his left. He wears a dark, shaggy fur hat that covers his ears and forehead. His face, illuminated from the upper left, shows a light complexion with reddish tones, a prominent nose, and dark eyes looking downwards. A subtle smile plays on his lips. Around his neck, a white ruffled collar is visible, peeking out from beneath a reddish-brown garment. A dark, heavy cloak is draped over his shoulders and arms, creating deep folds and shadows. His hands, with visible knuckles and a warm skin tone, are clasped around a grey metallic tankard with a hinged lid, positioned in the lower right portion of the painting. The tankard has a reflective surface, catching some light.
