Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man with dark hair, mustache, and goatee, wearing a dark coat and white ruffled collar

Detailed Description

A vertical painting depicts a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man against a dark, plain background. The man is positioned slightly to the right of the canvas center, with his body angled to his right, and his head turned to look directly forward, over his left shoulder. He has a pale complexion with rosy cheeks and lips. His dark eyes look straight ahead. His dark, wavy hair is parted on his left, with some strands appearing to stand up on top of his head. He has a dark, curled mustache and a small, pointed goatee under his lower lip. He wears a dark, possibly black, garment that covers his shoulders and chest. A stiff, white, ruffled collar stands up around his neck, contrasting sharply with the dark fabric. The background is a uniform, dark, muted brown or gray. Light appears to come from the upper left, illuminating the man's face, particularly his forehead and left cheek, and highlighting the white collar. Shadows fall on the right side of his face and body, adding depth.
