The image is a close-up photograph of a man's profile, captured in a dramatic, low-key lighting setup that emphasizes the contours and textures of his face. The lighting casts a soft, warm glow on his right side, highlighting the details of his skin, while the background is completely black, creating a stark contrast that makes his features stand out. The man has a short, neatly trimmed beard and a closely shaved head, with a few faint gray hairs visible. His skin is slightly flushed, possibly from exertion or emotion, and his expression is contemplative, with his eyes looking down, and his lips slightly parted. He is wearing a black garment with an orange collar, which is partially visible at the bottom of the frame, adding a splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic image. The photograph is taken from a low angle, capturing the man's profile from his forehead to just below his chin. The overall mood of the image is introspective and serious, with a focus on the man's facial expressions and the interplay of light and shadow on his skin. The orange and gold gradient words "De HOLLANDSE MEESTER" extend across the image to the right side, in a metallic highly reflective industrial font. Five gold stars underscore the text.
