Detailed Description
A man stands in profile, facing left, occupying the central and left portion of the vertical canvas, against a muted, dark background. He wears a large white turban wrapped around his head, with a small dark red element visible at the back. His face is turned to the left, revealing a dark beard and mustache, a prominent nose, and dark eyes. His attire consists of a long-sleeved, loose-fitting red robe, which appears to be layered over darker brown trousers or a lower garment. A wide, white shawl is draped over his left shoulder and arm, falling down his back. At his waist, a curved sword with a dark hilt is tucked into a sash or belt, with its scabbard visible along his right side. His right hand, adorned with a ring, holds what appears to be another weapon or object, possibly a dagger, near his waist. His left arm is mostly obscured by the white shawl. On his feet, he wears pointed, light yellow slippers. The background is a simple, dark gray-green, providing a stark contrast to the figure's clothing.
