Prompt: A man in his mid-thirties sits on a simple wooden chair, his torso angled slightly away from the camera and his head turned back toward it. His chin is lowered a little. His eyes look just above the lens, while his mouth rests in a relaxed, slightly uneven line. He has a long face, a broad jaw, a nose with a small irregularity along the bridge and one eyebrow sitting higher than the other. Short curly hair forms dense overlapping masses, with softer detail in the shaded side. Light stubble follows his jaw and upper lip. He wears a black knitted crew-neck sweater. Small lint fibres and stretched ribbing are visible near the collar. His forearms rest separately on his thighs, with both hands relaxed near his knees. A single hard light from the viewer’s left illuminates one cheek, the bridge of his nose and the nearer hand. The nose casts a distinct shadow across the opposite cheek. Weak reflected light preserves a trace of the shaded eye and jaw. The plain grey background falls darker behind his lit shoulder. Fine grain is most visible in the midtones. The skin retains local texture and soft transitions around the mouth, while the sweater approaches deep charcoal.
