About this work

This is a portrait of a man in a dark military-style coat with gold stripes. His white wig is powdered, and he wears a white cravat. A book and papers sit on the table in front of him, and a small globe is visible in the background. The gold stripes on his coat suggest he held a high rank, possibly in the military or government. The painting’s dark background helps the figure stand out sharply. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro*.
