Brief Description

A man in a black hat and ruffled collar sits playing a light brown guitar

Detailed Description

A man is seated, facing slightly to the viewer's right, with his gaze directed forward. He wears a dark, wide-brimmed hat adorned with a white feather and a light blue ribbon. A voluminous white ruffled collar encircles his neck, contrasting with his dark blue or black doublet, which features multiple buttons down the front and full, gathered sleeves. His hands are positioned on a light brown guitar; his left hand is on the fretboard, and his right hand is poised over the soundhole, which is intricately decorated with a circular, ornate design. The guitar has a dark fretboard and a headstock with multiple tuning pegs. The man is seated on a red upholstered chair with carved golden wooden arms and legs. His legs are crossed, and he wears dark breeches and stockings. To his right, a small table is covered with a richly patterned tapestry featuring red, gold, and green motifs. An open book of sheet music rests on the table, its pages displaying musical notation. The background on the left features a dark green draped curtain, while the right side shows a plain, muted gray wall. The overall lighting highlights the man's face and the guitar.
