Visual Description
A young man sits beneath a stylized tree with cloud-like foliage, one hand resting on his head in a pensive pose. Three ornate golden cups stand on the ground around him while a fourth cup is offered from the left by a disembodied hand emerging from swirling, purple-blue mist. The scene is set against a dark, star-speckled sky with curling cloud motifs and luminous, nebula-like colors. The sitter wears a white shirt, a purple vest, and maroon trousers, and the ground is covered in textured green grass and plants.
