Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man in a wide-brimmed hat and fur-trimmed coat holds papers

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait shows a man against a dark background, facing slightly right but looking directly forward. He has a pale complexion, a small mustache, and long, dark brown hair that falls over his shoulders. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat that casts a shadow over his forehead. His attire includes a dark, possibly fur-trimmed, coat with a golden-brown patterned fabric visible on the sleeves and collar. A white, ruffled cuff is visible at his right wrist. He holds a stack of papers or a thin book in both hands, positioned at the center of the lower half of the image. The papers are light-colored, with faint lines suggesting text or musical notation. The background is predominantly dark brown, almost black, with a subtle, lighter brown, curved shape visible behind his left shoulder, possibly a curtain or drapery. A very faint, indistinct, lighter shape is visible in the lower right background, suggesting another figure or object in shadow. The lighting highlights the man's face and hands, creating a strong contrast with the dark surroundings.
