A man in a wide-brimmed black hat and dark clothing, looking directly forward
A vertical portrait shows a man, depicted from the chest up, against a dark, muted background. He is positioned slightly right of center, facing forward with his gaze directed towards the viewer. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat that casts a shadow over the upper part of his face, particularly his forehead and eyes. His reddish-brown hair falls in long curls to his shoulders, visible beneath the hat. He has a light mustache and a small patch of hair on his chin. His skin tone is pale, with subtle pinkish tones on his cheeks and nose. He is dressed in dark, possibly black, clothing. A prominent white collar, with a slight blue-grey tint, is visible around his neck, contrasting sharply with his dark attire. The collar has two distinct points that extend over his shoulders. His right hand, partially visible in the lower right, is gloved or cuffed with a lighter, possibly lace-trimmed, fabric. The background is a dark, warm brown on the right, fading into a darker, almost black, tone on the left, creating a subtle sense of depth. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, highlighting his face and the white collar.
