Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered in a lived-in apartment hallway with soft daylight from a side window and a child's drawings pinned to the wall behind him. A calm man in his late thirties, medium-tall with a relaxed, settled build. Oval face with a short neat dark-brown beard lightly flecked with grey, warm brown eyes, slightly receding short combed hair, fair-neutral skin. He wears a plain charcoal knit sweater over a collared shirt, comfortable dark grey trousers, and worn grey wool house slippers on his feet. One hand rests casually in his pocket, the other half-raised as if mid-question; his expression is unhurried, mildly puzzled, unthreatening — a man at ease in his own home who does not recognize the stranger at the door.
