Visual Summary

Brief Description

Half-length portrait of a man in a wide-brimmed black hat, dark clothing, and white collar

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait depicts a man positioned slightly to the left of center against a dark, plain background. He faces forward, with his head turned slightly to his right, and his gaze directed straight out of the image. He has fair skin, a light mustache, and dark, shoulder-length hair that curls slightly. His eyes are a light color, and his expression is neutral. He wears a wide-brimmed black hat that casts a shadow over the upper part of his face. A crisp white collar with pointed ends stands out against his dark clothing. Beneath the collar, a small, intricate white lace detail is visible. He is dressed in a dark, possibly black or deep blue, coat or cloak that covers most of his body. His right arm is bent, with his hand resting near his waist. This hand, with visible knuckles and fingers, holds a light-colored, possibly leather, glove. The cuff of his sleeve is white with a delicate lace trim. The background is a uniform dark brown or gray, providing a stark contrast to the man's face and white collar. Lighting highlights his face and the white elements of his attire.
