About this work

A man in a dark coat stares straight ahead. His white collar pops against the plain background. You can almost feel the stiff fabric of his shirt. This portrait shows the Baroque love for drama. The artist used strong light and shadow to make the face stand out. The dark coat and light collar balance the picture. Check out more works at the Museum of Ethnography.
