Detailed Description
A full-length portrait depicts a person standing centrally, facing forward with a direct gaze. The individual has dark hair, prominent dark eyebrows, and light skin. They wear a tall, black, conical hat and a dark blue long-sleeved coat with a wide white collar. The coat is trimmed with a floral pattern in white, gold, and red along the edges and down the front. A wide red sash is tied around the waist, from which a dagger with an ornate hilt hangs. The hands are clasped at the waist, holding the dagger's hilt. The long coat extends to the floor, revealing white patterned slippers. To the left of the figure, a white vase with delicate floral patterns holds a bouquet of pink, white, blue, and orange flowers. To the right, an ornate silver hookah with intricate designs stands on a small yellow table, featuring a long red hose that extends to the floor. The background consists of a light blue wall, topped by a red draped fabric with a gold patterned border. The floor is covered by a patterned rug in shades of red and brown.
