Artist
A detailed oil painting depicts a fair-skinned male actor with a surprised and theatrical expression, standing before deep red, draped curtains. He has shaggy, light blonde hair and a light blonde, trimmed beard and mustache. His eyes are wide with dilated pupils, and his eyebrows are raised as he gazes directly ahead. He has red cheeks and a slightly parted mouth.
He wears a historical costume comprised of a ruffled, white collared shirt with long sleeves that are gathered at the wrist and buttoned with white cuffs. The voluminous shirt is made of shiny material and secured with gold buttons up the front. His hands are placed on his hips. He wears green tights or leggings, and a richly ornate, high-waisted red and gold patterned garment, possibly a codpiece, over the green. A gold belt with a green jewel connects this garment to the tights.
To the left and right of the actor are draped, ruby red theatrical curtains, tied back with elaborate gold rope tassels. The background is mostly dark, allowing the actor and the curtains to stand out. The painting style is realistic with a clear attention to texture and light, especially on the ruffles of the shirt and the folds of the curtains.
