DescriptionThe image is a bust portrait of an older man in a black suit with greying hair. The male figure looks directly at the viewer with a faint smile. None of his teeth are showing. He has dark brown eyes and heavy eyebrows. His face is clean shaven except for a white-grey, chin curtain beard that is neat and clipped short. The figure's body is turned toward the right and both of his hands are brought up, holding the lapels of his suit. His thumbs are slightly extended. There is a black tie knotted about his neck and the ends of both sides stretch diagonally underneath his suit coat, forming an x-shape at the top of his chest. Above the tie, the figure's white collar is not folded down; instead, it sticks out near his neck. The background is dark and nondescript.On View
