A full-length portrait of a bearded man in red and blue-green robes, standing in a shallow alcove
Detailed Description
A full-length portrait depicts a man standing centrally within a shallow, dark brown wooden alcove. The man has long, dark brown hair that falls over his shoulders and a short, dark beard. His skin is light-toned. He wears a long-sleeved, deep red tunic with a square neckline, visible beneath a flowing, light blue-green cloak draped over his left shoulder and around his body. The cloak covers most of his lower body and extends to his feet, where he wears simple sandals. His right arm is raised with the palm open and fingers slightly spread, while his left arm is bent at the elbow, with his hand extended slightly to the side, palm open. He looks directly forward with a neutral expression. Behind the figure, a dark green curtain is gathered at the top corners and hangs loosely. The floor beneath the man is a light-colored tile with a geometric pattern, featuring a circular design in red and green directly beneath his feet. Even lighting highlights the figure against the slightly darker background.
