caption: The image shows a self-portrait of a man wearing a black coat and holding a book in his hand. He has a serious expression on his face, and his hands are clasped in front of him. His hair is dark and his eyes are focused on something in the distance. He is standing in a relaxed pose, with his hands resting on his lap and his head slightly tilted to the side. The book he is holding is open, and the background is a muted grey.
