Visual Summary

Brief Description

A bearded man with dark hair holds a small, light-colored dog against a dark background

Detailed Description

A vertical portrait painting depicts a man with a beard holding a small dog, both looking forward. The man, positioned slightly to the left of center, has dark, wavy hair with some graying at the temples. He has a full, light brown and gray beard and mustache, fair skin with rosy cheeks, and dark eyes under a slightly furrowed brow. He wears a reddish-brown coat with a wide, dark green velvet collar or lapel. His left arm is bent, holding the dog close to his chest. The dog is small, with light cream or tan fur, dark round eyes, and a dark snout. Its ears appear floppy. The background is a plain, dark, muted blue-green, slightly lighter directly behind the man's head and darker towards the edges and top.
