The painting depicts a man in a black military uniform with gold epaulets and a blue sash. He has short, dark hair and is looking to the left. The background is a gray sky. The man's uniform is adorned with medals and a red collar with gold accents. His expression is serious, and he appears to be standing in front of a cloudy sky. This portrait is a great example of the artist's skill with oil paint. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's technique, you might want to look up chiaroscuro.
