About this work

This black-and-white portrait shows a man with wavy hair and a serious face. He’s wearing a dark coat over a light shirt, holding a paintbrush in one hand and a small palette with brushes in the other. Behind him is an easel, though the painting on it isn’t visible. The man’s sleeve is rolled up, revealing his forearm, and his expression is calm but focused. The lighting is soft, making his face stand out against the dark background. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
