Visual Summary

Brief Description

A painted portrait of a man with light, curly hair, rosy cheeks, and a dark coat

Detailed Description

A painted portrait depicts a man from the chest up, positioned slightly to his left but facing directly forward. He has a fair complexion with prominent rosy cheeks and a light, possibly reddish, tone around his nose and chin. His eyes are light-colored and gaze straight ahead. His hair is light, curly, and appears to be receding at the temples, with some volume on top. He wears a dark, double-breasted coat with a wide collar and lapels. The coat features two rows of large, round, light-colored buttons, possibly brass, visible on the front. A white cravat or neckcloth is tied neatly around his neck, partially visible above the coat. The background is a plain, dark, warm brown, with the right side appearing slightly darker than the left. The man's face and the left side of his body are more brightly illuminated, with the brightest light appearing on his upper left side.
