About this work

This is a portrait of a man in a dark uniform with a fur collar and epaulettes. His face is serious, with gray hair and a mustache. The background is plain and dark, putting all focus on him. The painting looks old, with visible wear around the edges. The artist focused on the man’s face and uniform, making them stand out.
