This painting shows a man in a dark, rich coat with a white ruffled collar. He wears a red cap with a feather, and his right hand rests on a sword. The background is plain and dark, making his face and clothes stand out. The coat of arms below the portrait has a shield with a crown and strange symbols. The year 1662 is written at the top in old-style numbers. Look up the technique called *chiaroscuro* next.
