Seen from a slightly low three-quarter angle, the young man fills an upper-body portrait against a seamless muted plum-violet ground that fades into dusty periwinkle and pale lilac; no location intrudes. His deep black hair is pulled into a low ponytail, with one loose lock crossing the edge of his cheek. Behind Wellington glasses, his eyes keep a knife-sharp upturned shape but a hazy, dull vacancy in the brown irises; the lenses pick up a small spectral glint and a thin red-cyan chromatic fringe. One hand rises to adjust the bridge of the glasses, fingertips meeting the frame, the other hand pushed into the teal knit sleeve. The sweater is a muted teal-blue knit with thick impasto dabs over the crisp pale T-shirt collar; its shadows are hard, angular and cool, while the face and hands are painted in flat cel-shaded planes with crisp specular highlights. Rich color depth and slight color bleeding sit in the teal knit and dark hair. Delicate colored linework and bold dark contours hold the silhouette together, with fine inner lines; a faint grainy retro-digital texture and soft contrast keep the mood withdrawn. The figure's lowered, sideward gaze and flat mouth carry the gloom. Quietly bleak.
