More about this artwork
In the portrait, a young man stands facing slightly to his left, gazing directly at the viewer with a solemn expression. His outfit consists of a dark, possibly black jacket over a similarly dark shirt, and he wears a rounded hat that casts a shadow over his forehead and eyes, accentuating his intense stare. The background is minimally detailed, putting the focus more on his figure and facial features, which are rendered with fine, textured strokes suggesting the contours and subtleties of his face. His left hand is partially visible, resting gently near his waist.
