About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark brown coat with white fur trim. His shirt has rows of tiny gold buttons, and he wears a dark vest. His white wig is powdered, and he rests his hand on his chest. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on him. His face looks serious, but the clothes suggest he was someone important. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in portraits.
