This painting shows a person looking straight at us. The person is the artist himself, and he made many self-portraits. He started making them when he was young and kept making them as he got older. He used a technique called sfumato to create soft shadows in his paintings, similar to what you can see in the work of artist Abbott Handerson Thayer.
