This article is a "portrait" of Leo Tolstoy, the author not only shows us Tolstoy's unique physical characteristics, but also reveals Tolstoy's profound spiritual world.

The essay is rendered without a background, as if a sketch goes straight to a portrait, and this sentence outlines Tolstoy's face and highlights his general characteristics - hairy, thick beard.

Original. He was born with a hairy face, more vegetation than clearing, and a thick beard that made it difficult to see his inner world. The long hair covered the cheeks, the lips, and the dark face wrinkled like tree bark, and fluttered in the wind one by one, quite with the demeanor of an elder.

The eyebrows, about a finger wide, are like tangled tree roots, upside down. Locks of gray curls were piled up on his forehead like foam.

No matter which angle you look at, you can see the lush beard like a tropical forest. Like Michelangelo's Moses, Tolstoy is an unforgettable image of his fatherly beard like a rolling white wave.

In contrast to the content that follows, it also has the effect of foreshadowing.

The author portrays Tolstoy's physical characteristics in the following ways:

1) Beard: hairy, bushy beard.

2) Facial contour structure: dissonant, rugged, mediocre, even coarse (3) Facial features: melancholy, dull, depressed.

4) Appearance: Appearance is mediocre and ordinary.

5) Visitor disappointment.
