Brief Description

Painted portrait of an older man with mustache, curly gray hair, dark hat, and cloak

Detailed Description

A head-and-shoulders portrait of an older man, facing forward, is depicted against a dark, muted brown background. His round face has light skin with visible wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. He has a short, light-brown mustache and a small patch of hair on his chin. His dark eyes look directly forward, his nose is broad, and his lips are thin. Short, curly, light-gray hair frames his face, visible beneath a large, dark, wide-brimmed hat that covers the top of his head and casts a shadow over his upper face. He wears a dark, loose-fitting, brown-toned cloak or coat over a reddish-brown inner garment with a high, stiff collar. The cloak has broad shoulders and falls in soft folds. On the right side of his chest, near the collar, several small, dark, round decorative elements are arranged vertically. The background is a muted, dark brown with subtle variations in tone, appearing slightly lighter behind his head and shoulders.
