Portrait of a man in a plumed hat

The painting depicts a man wearing a voluminous black plumed hat, shown in a three-quarter view against a dark, neutral background. Light from the left softly illuminates his face, producing warm flesh tones and subtle pinks while the hat and coat are rendered in deep browns and blacks with a metallic trim, creating strong chiaroscuro and tonal depth. The composition concentrates on the head and hat, with painterly brushwork that emphasizes texture in the fabrics and a naturalistic, Rembrandt-like treatment of skin and light.
