Cavaler is a 1850 by Eduard Charlemont, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This print shows a man in old-fashioned clothes, leaning on a cane. He’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a dark coat with lace at the wrists, and a ruffled collar. His face has a serious look, and he’s holding a folded piece of paper or cloth in one hand. The dark background makes his face and hands stand out sharply. This kind of lighting is called *chiaroscuro*—it’s all about strong contrasts between light and dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow to create drama.
