Portrait of a 38-Year-Old Man is a 1622 unspecified by Unknown, a Baroque work, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a serious-looking man in dark clothes. He’s wearing a black hat, a white ruff collar, and a black doublet with embroidered sleeves. One hand rests on his hip, and the other holds a feathered glove. The background is plain and dark, with a hint of patterned fabric on the right side. The man’s face is lit from the side, making his features stand out sharply against the shadows. This kind of lighting was a big deal in the art of the time. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
