Visual Summary

Brief Description

A seated man in a red robe and white turban holds a brush and palette, gazing out

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait depicts a seated man with a dark beard and mustache, looking directly at the viewer. He wears a voluminous white turban, with a hint of dark blue fabric visible beneath it on the left side of his head. His attire consists of a long-sleeved, dark red robe, which is open at the neck to reveal a white shirt or undergarment. The white fabric of his sleeves is also visible at his wrists. His right hand, adorned with a ring on the ring finger, holds a thin brush, while his left hand supports a dark, rectangular object, possibly a palette or a book. He is seated on a surface, with a patterned fabric visible on the left side of the frame, featuring broad diagonal stripes of dark green and dark red. The background is a dark, indistinct warm brown, providing a stark contrast to the illuminated figure. The lighting highlights his face, turban, and hands.
