Visual Summary

Brief Description

A young man in a red tunic with dark hair, standing before a landscape and architecture

Detailed Description

A half-length depiction shows a young man with pale skin, dark eyes, and a straight nose, positioned slightly to the right. His dark, shoulder-length hair is styled with a bowl cut and bangs that reach his eyebrows. He wears a dark red tunic with a high, dark green collar and long sleeves. The tunic features vertical pleats down the front and brown cuffs. His hands are clasped at the bottom center, resting on what appears to be a ledge or railing, with a gold ring visible on the pinky finger of his left hand. The man's gaze is directed straight ahead. The background is divided into two distinct sections. To the man's left, an open window or archway reveals a landscape under a clear blue sky. Two reddish-brown columns frame this view, with the left column partially obscured by the edge. The landscape features rolling green hills, scattered trees, and a winding path, with a faint body of water or distant mountains visible on the horizon. To the man's right, a light gray architectural element, possibly a wall or pillar, forms a plain, textured background.
