This painting shows a man with long, curly hair and a serious expression. He’s wearing a light-colored shirt with a high collar and a dark jacket. His hands are clasped together, and he looks like he’s deep in thought. The dark background makes his face stand out, especially the shadows under his eyes and along his jaw. The lighting focuses on his face, giving it a three-dimensional feel. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
