About this work

This is a portrait of a man in a dark suit with a high collar and a mustache. His hair is curly and slightly gray, and he’s looking off to the side with a serious expression. The background is plain and dark, keeping all the focus on his face. The paint is thick in some spots, especially on his mustache and cheeks, giving it a textured look. This might be done on purpose to add depth. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
