About this work

This painting shows a close-up of a person’s face against a dark background. The skin looks slightly rough, with warm tones on the cheeks and a shadow under the eyes. The person’s expression is serious, almost stern, with a slight frown. The background is plain and dark, which makes the face stand out. The lighting focuses on the face, leaving the rest of the painting shadowy. This style of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*.
