This painting shows a man in a red coat, with his back to the viewer. He is wearing a hat and holding something in his right hand. The man's coat is a vibrant red, and his hat is black with a white band. The background of the painting is dark, which makes the man's red coat stand out. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the man's red coat.
