About this work

This is a portrait of an older man with a bald head and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat, a white shirt, and a bow tie. The background is plain and dark, so the face stands out clearly. The painting focuses on the man’s face and upper body, with soft brushstrokes that catch the light on his skin. His expression is calm but serious. Next, look up the technique: chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow.
