This black-and-white photo shows a man in a fancy, old-fashioned outfit. He’s wearing a dark coat with gold trim, a white cravat, and a medal on a ribbon. His hair is powdered and tied back, and he stands against a dark, striped background. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, but it’s not a painting—it’s a photograph. The lighting is soft, making his face stand out against the shadows. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro*.
