Gentleman with Hand in Vest

French Rococo, c. 1710

The image shows a person standing, turned slightly to the left with their head turned slightly to the right. They have long, wavy hair, a prominent nose, a slender face, and are wearing detailed, period clothing including a long coat, vest, knee-length breeches, stockings, and buckled shoes. The person is not wearing any visible jewelry, but there is a partial view of a pocket watch chain. In the background, there are artistic renditions of trees on the left and a distant building or architectural structure against a backdrop of clouds on the right.
