About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. His dark hair is short and slightly messy, and he has a mustache and goatee. He’s wearing a white collar that peeks out from under a dark, simple garment. The painting is round, like a coin or a medal. The lighting is soft, focusing on his face while leaving the edges dark. This makes his features stand out clearly. The style looks old, but we don’t know the exact time or artist’s name. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
