This is a portrait of a man in a dark, shadowy background. He has curly white hair tied back and wears a green coat with a white cravat. His hands are clasped in front of him, and he has a slight smile. The painting uses a dark background to make the face stand out. The lighting focuses on his features, creating a soft contrast. Next, look up chiaroscuro.
