Object description
The waist-length figure of the portrayed man is depicted on a dark vague background. The artist mainly focused on the man’s face. The main aim of the author was to reveal the character of the man. The work is characterized by laconism and slight revealing of emotions of the person depicted. Although the nobleman's clothing is shown in detail, it does not distract attention from the main part of the portrait, that is, from the face.
