This portrait shows a man in a dark blue coat over a red jacket. His white wig is neatly styled, and he wears a ruffled cuff with a silver pin. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on his face and clothing. The man’s relaxed pose and careful details suggest he was someone important. His confident expression and fine clothes hint at a skilled profession. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
