Visual Summary

Brief Description

Head and shoulders portrait of a man in a blue collar, a hand near his light hair

Detailed Description

A head and shoulders portrait depicts a man facing right in profile, with his eyes looking slightly forward. His light-toned skin shows numerous wrinkles on his forehead, around his eyes, and on his cheeks. He has a prominent nose and thin lips. His dark eyes are focused slightly ahead. He is balding on top, with short, light grey hair visible above his ears and on the sides of his head. He wears a dark blue collar with a thin gold trim, over a white garment. The background on the left is a dark reddish-brown, transitioning to a darker brown on the right. A triangular shape of dark green is visible on the far right, behind the man's shoulder. A light-skinned hand with visible fingers is positioned on the upper left, near the man's head, seemingly touching his hair.
