About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark suit and white shirt, standing in a room. He has a white cravat around his neck. The background is dark, with a table or desk to his right. There's a book or papers on it. The man's face is serious, and he's looking straight ahead. His left hand is by his side, and his right hand rests on the table. The painting is done in dark colors, with some lighter shades on the man's face and clothes. The artist, Daniel Macnee, used chiaroscuro to create contrast between light and dark. You can see more of his work at the Scottish National Gallery.
