His facial features include a prominent nose, defined chin, and a calm expression. His hair is short and neatly styled with slight waves. He is wearing a dark-colored coat with a high collar and a white cravat. There are no visible pieces of jewelry or objects. The background consists of a soft, dark circle highlighting his silhouette, set against a pale, textured background.
