Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man with pale skin, dark hair, and a white collar against a dark background

Detailed Description

A vertical, waist-up portrait painting depicts a man centered against a dark, plain background. The man's head and shoulders fill most of the frame. He has a pale complexion with a slightly yellowish tint. His face is turned slightly to the viewer's right, while his eyes look directly forward. His hair is dark brown, parted on his left, and falls to just above his shoulders, framing his face. He has a faint, thin mustache and a small patch of hair on his chin. His eyes are a light green or hazel color, with dark pupils, and are wide open. His nose is long and straight, and his lips are thin and closed, with a slight curve. He wears a dark, possibly black, garment with a wide, flat, white collar that extends over his shoulders. The collar has a subtle greenish-blue tint in some areas. The background is a uniform dark brown or black. Visible brushstrokes, particularly in the skin tones, give the painting a textured appearance. Lighting appears to originate from the upper left, illuminating his face and collar.
