Image description
The painting depicts a man looking towards us, his body slightly turned to the right. He has fair skin, prominent cheekbones, an upturned nose, and red lips in a slight smile. His light gray curly hair has been put in a low ponytail at the back of this neck. He is dressed in a pale green garment with a striped green scarf around his neck. His hands are on the right, holding an indistinct gray object. The background is a mix of brown and gray tones.
