Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man in a white wig and voluminous red robe, seated in a dark setting

Detailed Description

A waist-up painting depicts a man seated, facing slightly to the viewer's right, with his gaze directed forward. He has a pale complexion, a neutral expression, and dark eyes. His head is adorned with a white wig featuring curls that frame his ears and a queue at the back. He wears a prominent white cravat or jabot that extends down his chest. Over a dark undergarment, he is dressed in a voluminous robe of deep crimson or burgundy velvet. The robe features numerous decorative elements, possibly stylized bows or folds, arranged vertically down the front and across his lap. The sleeves are wide and full. His left arm rests on the dark armrest of a chair, with his hand lightly clenched. His right hand rests open on his lap, partially obscured by the folds of the robe. The background is a plain, dark, warm brown. Lighting illuminates his face and the texture of his clothing, with a light source seemingly from the left.
