About this work

This painting shows a serious-looking man with gray hair and a beard. He’s wearing a white collar with lace trim and a dark chain around his neck. The background is completely black, making his face stand out. The lace on his collar is detailed, showing careful brushwork. The dark background helps highlight his skin and clothes. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
