About this work

This portrait shows a man holding a golden pocket watch in his right hand. He wears a black coat with a white ruffled collar and a green cuff on his left wrist. His brown hair is neatly styled, and he sports a short brown beard and mustache. The background is a dark, solid color. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest he is from the 17th century. The pocket watch he holds is an interesting detail, as it was a relatively new invention at the time.
