About this work

The painting is a portrait of a man with a hat and a collar of an order of chivalry. He is wearing a dark coat with a high collar and a large hat with a feather on it. He is holding a piece of paper in his right hand. The man is looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. His face is well-lit, while the background is dark and shadowy. The overall effect is one of dignity and importance. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, you can look up the artist 1652_person.
