Visual Summary

Brief Description

Head-and-shoulders portrait of a man with a reddish beard, dark head covering, and white collar

Detailed Description

The painting is a head-and-shoulders portrait of a man, positioned slightly off-center to the right, against a dark, muted olive-green background. The man's face is turned slightly to his left, with his gaze directed forward. He has light skin, a short reddish-brown beard and mustache, and dark hair partially covered by a dark blue or black head wrap that extends across his forehead and over his ears. His eyes are a light blue-grey, and his eyebrows are dark. His nose is prominent, and his lips are closed. He wears a dark, almost black, jacket or coat with a wide, crisp white collar that stands up around his neck. The brushstrokes on his clothing are visible and somewhat broad, especially in the lower right portion of the garment, which appears less finished. The background is largely uniform, with subtle variations in tone, suggesting a plain wall. The lighting appears to come from the upper left, highlighting his face and the white collar. The lower edge of the painting shows an unfinished area, with visible white primer or canvas beneath the dark paint of his clothing.
