About this work

This portrait shows a man with long, curly white hair and a mustache. He wears a black robe with a white collar and a black cap. The background is dark, and the man's face is the main focus of the painting. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the man's facial features and clothing. The Museum of Ethnography holds this portrait, which is a great example of the artistic style of the time.
