His attired in a formal, dark suit, crisp white shirt, and a bow tie, which was typical of academic or professional dress in that era.The background of the painting is dark and subdued, focusing the viewer's attention mainly on the figure of Estlander himself. The lighting in the painting highlights his face and hands, drawing attention to his thoughtful expression and the relaxed positioning of his hands. The fine details in the rendering of his facial features and hands suggest a high level of respect and attention by Edelfelt towards his subject.The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet dignity and depth, fitting for a portrait of a scholar such as Estlander, who was known for his contributions to the arts and literature. Edelfelt's skillful use of lighting and shadow not only enhances the three-dimensional form but also contributes to the emotional and psychological depth of the portrait.
