A man with a mustache, long hair, dark clothing, holds a red feathered hat, hand extended
A half-length portrait depicts a man against a dark, indistinct background. He is positioned slightly to the left of the frame, facing towards the viewer with his head turned slightly to his right. His skin is fair, and he has dark eyes, a thin mustache, and a small goatee. His medium-length, wavy brown hair is parted in the middle and falls to his shoulders. He wears dark, possibly black or deep brown, attire with a high, dark collar that appears to be part of a piece of armor or a stiff garment. Across his chest and shoulder, there are intricate patterns or embellishments in a reddish-gold hue. His left arm is bent, and he holds a large, round hat with prominent red feathers and a lighter, possibly cream-colored, base. His right hand is extended forward, palm slightly open, with fingers gently spread. The background is predominantly dark, with a subtle, lighter curved shape visible behind his head on the upper right side, suggesting a column or draped fabric. Strong illumination highlights his face, the red hat, and his extended hand, creating a stark contrast with the deep shadows of his clothing and the background. A hint of a reddish-brown surface, possibly a table, is visible in the lower left corner.
