Visual Summary

Brief Description

Waist-up portrait of a man in a black cap and fur-lined coat, holding red beads and brown gloves

Detailed Description

A waist-up portrait of a man is positioned centrally against a dark, olive-green background. The man has a pale complexion and a broad face, with his gaze directed slightly to the viewer's right and his mouth closed in a neutral expression. He has short, light-colored hair visible at his temples and wears a flat, black cap that covers the top of his head. His attire consists of a dark, possibly black, garment underneath a heavy, brown fur-lined coat. A fur collar is visible around his neck and shoulders, and the coat extends down his arms. Bright red, voluminous sleeves, likely made of velvet or a similar rich fabric, emerge from beneath the fur coat. His hands rest on a light-colored ledge or barrier in the lower portion of the painting. On his left hand, which is closer to the viewer's left, he wears a gold ring with a green stone on his ring finger. This hand holds a string of large, round, reddish-orange beads, possibly coral, with a dark tassel at the end. His right hand, positioned slightly to the viewer's right, holds a pair of folded brown leather gloves. The background behind the man is a muted, dark olive-green. Faint, light-colored inscriptions are visible on this background: "1545" appears on the left side, and "C3" is on the right side. The overall lighting highlights the man's face and hands against the darker tones of his clothing and the background.
