About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man with a serious expression. He’s wearing a high white collar with lace trim and a dark jacket with intricate patterns on the sleeves. The oval frame makes his face stand out against a plain background. The brushstrokes are soft, especially on his face, giving it a smooth look. His hands rest on the frame’s edge, adding a sense of quiet confidence. Next, check out *sfumato* to see how artists used soft blending like this.
