This painting shows a man in a dark suit with a bow tie, looking confident. His hair is curly and light brown, and he has a slight smile. The background is a plain, dark red color. The artist signed it in the corner, but no other details are visible. The way the light hits his face makes it stand out against the dark background. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
