Entomologist

In profile, a young man wears a teal jacket with a high collar and an oversized flat dark-teal cap shaped like a folded insect wing. He holds a small red insect between two fingers, examining it, while set above him on a separate weathered panel is a large painted illustration of a red locust labeled with its Latin name and handwritten notes.

The palette is restrained, teal, sepia, and aged parchment tones, with the man's face and hand modeled smoothly against a textured, distressed background resembling an old page. The pairing of a scientific specimen plate with the figure's costume creates a quiet, studious, faintly surreal mood.
