Portrait of a Man

Europäische Grafik 1260–1800, c. 1770

The image shows the upper half of a man's body. He is facing slightly to the left with his head turned towards the viewer, in a formal pose. The man has light-colored skin, rosy cheeks, and a calm expression. His hair is styled in a manner typical of the 18th century, with curls and tied back away from his face. He wears a dark coat with visible buttons and a white cravat around his neck. The cravat is slightly ruffled and tucked into his coat. There is no visible jewelry or objects in his hands. The background is plain, with subtle gradations of brown and dark green shades.
