About this work

This painting shows a man sitting by a window, holding a rolled-up paper or tool in one hand. He wears a dark hat with a feather, a brown coat, and a red collar. The background is dark, making his face stand out. The feather in his hat is bright yellow and green, catching the light. The way the light hits his face and clothes makes them look three-dimensional. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
