About this work

This is a portrait of a man in a dark suit and white shirt. His thick beard and serious expression fill most of the frame. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The artist used soft shading to give the face a three-dimensional look, especially around the beard and forehead. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works in other paintings.
