About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark suit and white shirt, sitting in a chair with one hand resting on a cane. He has a mustache and goatee, a red medal pinned to his lapel, and a serious expression. Behind him, a dark wall and a shelf with books and a few objects are visible. The way the light hits his face and the dark background creates a strong contrast, making him stand out. The brushstrokes are smooth, blending the colors together. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
