Image description
The image depicts a man shown from the waist up. He is facing slightly to the right, with his left arm draped over the back of a red chair and his right hand resting on his lap. He has a fair complexion, clean-shaven face, prominent cheekbones, and deep-set eyes. His short light brown hair is slightly tousled. The man is wearing a black coat, a black waistcoat, a white high-collared shirt, and a black cravat. The background is a muted dark brown color.
