This is a portrait of an older man with a long white beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat over a bright red shirt, and his face looks serious. The background is a plain, muted green. The painting is simple but focuses on the man’s face and clothes. The red shirt stands out against the darker coat, drawing your eye. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in portraits.
