About this work

This painting is a self-portrait of a young man with light skin and curly blonde hair. He is wearing a white shirt with a collar and a red and green strap over his shoulder. The background of the painting is dark, and the subject is holding a round object in front of him. The overall mood of the painting is somber, and the subject's expression is serious. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. If you're interested in learning more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
