Visual Summary

Brief Description

A seated man with powdered hair in a purple robe holds papers, gazing forward

Detailed Description

A half-length portrait depicts a man seated against a dark, plain background. He is positioned slightly to the right of the center, with his body angled towards the right and his head turned to face the viewer directly. The man has pale skin, dark eyes, a long nose, and a small mouth. His hair is powdered white, styled with curls above his ears and sideburns. He wears a purple garment with a high collar. A shorter, cape-like purple garment, trimmed with red piping, is draped over his shoulders. The main purple garment also features red piping. A gold cross on a chain hangs around his neck, resting on a white lace ruffle that extends from his collar. His white sleeves feature elaborate white lace cuffs, and a pink patterned fabric is visible beneath the lace on his right sleeve. His right hand, positioned at the center of the canvas, holds several folded sheets of paper with faint, illegible script. His left hand rests gently on his lap. A glimpse of a wooden chair with red upholstery is visible behind and beneath his right arm.
