Portrait at eye level, square on, head and shoulders of a beautiful South Asian man with deep-set eyes, high fashion casting, against a clean pale sulphur dusk gradient, darkest at the top edge and lifting at the horizon, entirely featureless and staying a clean saturated gradient. The skin is rendered smooth and even to the point of porcelain, and freckles are drawn in deliberately across the nose and cheeks, dark and scattered and held razor sharp on top of it. The brows are bleached to pale grey, a saturated petrol blue line is worked along the lower lash line, and the mouth is coral. One large soft frontal source plus a warm rim running down the bridge of the nose, the brow ridge and one cheek edge. He wears long printed gloves crossed under the chin over a plain high neck, printed with shells in coral, ivory and slate — the print carries all the colour in the frame and is the only pattern in the picture. One earring of two open links. Long dark hair pulled back flat. A level unblinking stare, the eyes at their natural aperture with the lids relaxed, held straight down the lens, mouth closed and neutral, completely still.
