This is a portrait of an older man with white hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and bow tie. The background is a plain, dark brown color that makes his face stand out. The painting looks very smooth, with soft shadows on his face and suit. The artist used light and dark tones to give it a three-dimensional feel. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
