A portrait of a young dark skined man with deep brown skin and long thick locs gathered over his right shoulder, each wrapped with thin gold wire cuffs. Heavy-lidded dark brown eyes look down at the viewer with a crooked smirk. Sharp cheekbones catch the light beneath dark lip liner drawn slightly past his natural lip line, filled with matte burgundy. He wears a black and gold brocade waistcoat over a torn black fishnet top, a white ruffled collar popped high against his neck. His right hand lifts a half-eaten chocolate-covered strawberry toward his mouth, dark juice smeared across his thumb and lower lip. His left hand rests on a velvet theater banister. Behind his left shoulder, heavy burgundy curtains part to reveal gilded baroque molding. Warm overhead chandelier light washes across his forehead and leaves deep shadows beneath his chin. The mood is decadent, theatrical, and arrogant.
