This black-and-white photo shows a man in a long, fancy coat with ruffled cuffs. He’s standing with one arm outstretched, like he’s giving a speech or pointing at something. His hair is wavy and pulled back, and he wears a serious but calm expression. The dark background makes his face stand out, which was a common trick in older paintings. This photo is actually a copy of a painting, not the original artwork. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
