About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man in a dark jacket and light shirt. His hair is neatly combed, and he has a serious expression. The background is a flat, warm red that makes his face stand out. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with visible brushstrokes. The artist focused on the light and shadow on his face, especially around the eyes and jaw. Check out chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
