About this work

This is a portrait of a man with curly hair, wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a sash. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's face is serious, and his hair is styled in a fashionable way for the time. The artist has used cross-hatching to create texture and depth in the image.
