Man in dark hat with white feather, white collar, and gold sash, holding a staff
A dark, vertical painting shows a man positioned centrally and facing slightly to the viewer's right. His skin is pale, and he has light brown hair, a mustache, and a small beard. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat adorned with a large, fluffy white feather on its right side. A crisp white collar is visible at his neck, contrasting with his dark, possibly deep green or black, jacket. A prominent, wide sash, intricately patterned in gold and cream, crosses his chest diagonally from his left shoulder to his right hip. His jacket sleeves feature rows of small, round gold embellishments. His right hand, visible on the left side of the painting, grasps a long, light brown staff held vertically. His left hand, partially obscured, holds a small, light-colored object near his waist. The background is dark and indistinct, with hints of a dark red or brown curtain on the left and a darker, textured wall on the right, providing a dark background for the figure.
