A man in a tall black hat and dark robe, seated full-length on an ornate base
A full-length, vertical portrait depicts a man seated, facing directly forward. He has a thin, light-toned face with visible wrinkles around his eyes and mouth, and a faint mustache and beard. He wears a tall, rectangular black hat that extends upwards from his head. His attire consists of a voluminous, dark-colored robe, possibly black or very dark gray, which covers most of his body. A crisp white collar is visible around his neck, contrasting with the dark fabric of the robe. His hands are mostly concealed within the wide sleeves of the robe, which drape broadly to either side. A thin, light-colored cord or sash is tied around his waist. The man is seated on a low, ornate base or chair, with decorative elements, possibly in gold or a light hue, visible along its structure and beneath the hem of his robe. The background is a plain, light-colored surface with a subtle texture, providing a neutral backdrop for the figure.
