Portrait of a Man

Italienische Malerei 1460–1475, c. 1475/1500

The artwork is a portrait showing the head and shoulders of a man who is positioned slightly turned to his left. He has a solemn expression, with prominent facial features including a defined nose and full lips. His hair is mostly covered by a dark, wrapped head covering, leaving only the top of his forehead visible. The man is dressed in a dark garment that drapes over his shoulders, with a hint of a white shirt visible at the collar. The background is a deep green, which contrasts with the lighter tones of his face and clothing.
