Detailed Description
A man is seated in a room, depicted in a full-length view. He has light-colored hair, a fair complexion, and a neutral expression, looking directly forward. He wears a high-collared, dark blue velvet coat with a white cravat and ruffled cuffs. A multi-pointed silver star medal with a red center is pinned to his left lapel. A sword hilt is visible at his left hip, tucked under his coat. He wears black breeches and white stockings, with black shoes. He is seated in a green upholstered chair with ornate gold-colored wooden arms and legs. His left arm rests on the chair's armrest, while his right arm rests on a dark green-topped wooden desk to his right. On the desk are a dark inkwell with a quill pen and a white piece of paper. His legs are crossed at the ankles, with his right leg over his left. To his left, on a dark sofa, rests a dark, possibly tricorn, hat. The background is dark, with a dark brown wall and a hint of a dark red curtain in the upper right. The floor is a light brown wooden parquet. The lighting highlights the man's face and the front of his body, creating a contrast with the darker background.
