Visual Description

“Handsome” is a vertical oil painting on canvas, measuring 54 inches by 43 inches, of an adult figure standing in the center of the composition and gazing toward the viewer with a confident expression. Their hands hang by their sides. The figure’s skin tone is rendered in grayscale, and the painting crops their legs below the thighs. The background is a solid hue of pale, cool beige. The figure stands with a subtle contrapposto, as if their weight were slightly placed on their left leg. Their hair is buzzed close to their scalp and they wear a navy-blue, short-sleeved button-up shirt densely patterned with small baby blue polka dots. The shirt’s light blue buttons have been buttoned up to the collar, and the shirt is untucked over a pair of off-white pants.
