About this work

This portrait features a man with white hair, wearing a red jacket adorned with gold trim and a large silver star on the left side of his chest. He is set against a dark background, with a circular frame surrounding him. The frame is decorated with a leafy design at the top and a scene of people at the bottom. The man's attire suggests he may be a member of the nobility or a high-ranking official. The frame's design and the subject's clothing are characteristic of the late 18th century.
