Description

A marvelous presentation of a middle aged fully bearded man. He sits 3/4 to the viewer and is intensely focused. The details of his white chin collar, shirt and black velvet suit jacket collar are incredibly presented. Beautiful lighting shows his skin tones. Although an unknown to us photographer, he was a definite professional. An almost life like pristine image.
