Visual Summary

Brief Description

A man with a mustache in a dark suit, hands in pockets, painted against a dark background

Detailed Description

A vertical portrait depicts a man from the waist up, set against a dark, indistinct background. The man's body is angled slightly to the left, while his head is turned to face the viewer directly. He has a light complexion, dark hair, and a prominent dark mustache. His eyes are dark and his expression is neutral. He wears a dark, possibly black or deep blue, suit jacket over a matching vest and a white collared shirt. A dark tie or cravat is visible at his neck. His left hand is partially visible, tucked into his left trousers pocket, with a sliver of white cuff showing. His right hand is also in his right trousers pocket, with a white cuff visible. Strong lighting illuminates the man's face, hands, and the folds of his suit, while casting much of the figure and background into shadow. The background is a uniform dark tone, providing a stark contrast to the illuminated figure.
