Half-length portrait of a man with a light brown beard, dark garment, and white collar
A half-length portrait depicts a man with light skin, positioned against a dark, plain background. He faces directly forward, with his head slightly tilted to his right. Short, wavy, light brown hair recedes slightly at the temples. A full, light brown beard and mustache are present, appearing lighter in color than his hair. His dark eyes are directed forward. A prominent nose and closed lips are visible. He wears a dark, long-sleeved garment, possibly a coat or doublet, fastened down the front with several small, dark buttons. A wide, white collar folds over the dark garment, framing his neck and chin. His right hand is visible in the lower center, resting over his left arm, which is mostly obscured by his clothing. The skin of the hand shows subtle variations in tone, revealing knuckles and fingers. Light originates from the upper left, illuminating his face and visible hand, and casting soft shadows on the right side of his face and under his chin. The background is a uniform dark brown, appearing almost black, providing a strong contrast to the man's face and white collar.
