This is a portrait of an older man with a white beard and glasses. He’s wearing a dark suit, a white collar, and a bow tie. The background is plain and dark, so the face stands out clearly. The brushstrokes are soft, blending light and shadow smoothly on his face. The artist’s signature is faintly visible in the bottom right corner. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
