Portrait of a Man in Ornate Military/Ceremonial Uniform

This is a color photographic portrait depicting a young man in what appears to be a formal military or ceremonial uniform. The subject is shown from the chest up, with his face turned slightly to the right, and his gaze directed off-camera. He has light skin, blue eyes, and dark, slicked-back hair. The uniform is predominantly dark blue or black, adorned with extensive gold-colored embellishments. Key features include prominent gold epaulets with fringe on the shoulders, intricate gold braiding and detailing on the collar and lapels, and numerous medals and orders pinned to the left side of the chest. A wide, bright yellow or gold sash, possibly of silk or satin, runs diagonally across his chest from his right shoulder to his left hip, with a distinctive star-shaped insignia visible on the sash. The overall impression is one of high status, likely military or royal. The image quality suggests it is a relatively modern photograph, possibly from the mid-to-late 20th century or early 21st century, given the clarity and color saturation. There are no visible signs of significant damage, wear, or repair to the photograph itself, presenting a well-preserved image. The background is a muted, textured wall, possibly stone or plaster, providing a stark contrast to the subject's ornate attire. The lighting is focused on the subject, creating a dramatic effect and highlighting the intricate details of the uniform, indicating professional craftsmanship in both the uniform and the photography.
