caption: The image shows a self-portrait of a man with a beard and a hat, painted in black and white. The man is standing in a relaxed pose, with his hands in his pockets and a slight smile on his face. His hair is neatly combed and his eyes are looking off to the side. He is wearing a long coat and a peaked cap, and his hands are clasped in front of him. The background is a muted grey, giving the painting a somber and contemplative atmosphere.
