Brief Description

A man in a red coat and white wig sits at a desk with papers, a column visible

Detailed Description

A full-length portrait depicts a man seated in a dark armchair, facing forward with his body angled slightly to the left. He has fair skin, rosy cheeks, and a double chin, with dark eyes and a small mouth. His head is adorned with a voluminous white powdered wig, styled with curls that reach his shoulders. He wears a deep red velvet coat, buttoned down the front, with wide cuffs featuring white lace ruffles at the wrists. A white cravat is visible at his neck. His left arm rests on a desk covered with a richly patterned cloth, his hand resting on a stack of white papers. A silver inkwell sits on the desk to his left. The desk cloth displays a complex paisley design in shades of dark red, green, and blue, with a fringed edge. His right hand rests on his lap. In the background to the left, a large, light-colored classical column rises. Beyond the column, a muted landscape with a cloudy sky and distant land or water is visible. The background to the right is darker, appearing as a plain wall or heavy drapery. The lighting is soft, illuminating the man from the left.
