This portrait painting depicts a man in a green coat with floral embroidery, standing against a dark background. He is wearing a white shirt and has his hands clasped together in front of him. The man's expression is serious, and his gaze is directed straight ahead. The painting's style is formal and traditional, with attention to detail in the subject's clothing and accessories. The painting is held at the Brooklyn Museum, and its style is reminiscent of the work of artist Ignacio Ayala.
