Ferdinand Bolin omakuva is a 1661 unspecified by Ferdinand Bol, a dutch_golden_age work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man in a dark room, leaning against a rough tree trunk. He wears a black hat, a fancy gold-and-black jacket, and a red glove on his left hand. His right hand holds a rolled-up paper, and his face looks serious. The dark background makes his face stand out sharply, almost like a spotlight. The way light hits his features gives them a three-dimensional look. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
