Brief Description

Half-length portrait of a bearded man in a dark coat, white cross, holding a letter

Detailed Description

A vertical, half-length portrait depicts a man with fair skin, dark hair, and a dark beard and mustache, facing directly forward. He is positioned slightly to the viewer's right. He wears a dark, possibly black, garment with a high, stiff white collar and white cuffs visible at his wrists. A prominent white, eight-pointed cross is affixed to the center of his chest. His right hand, positioned at the center of the composition, holds a folded piece of white paper or a letter. His left hand rests on a reddish-brown, rectangular surface that extends from the lower left edge of the frame. The background is a dark, plain color, with a subtle vertical lighter strip visible on the right side. Light illuminates the man's face, collar, hands, and the white cross from the left side of the composition.
