Miehen muotokuva is a 1746 unspecified by Georg Desmarées, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man in a dark, simple background. He’s dressed in a fancy gold jacket with embroidered cuffs and buttons, a white cravat, and a blue sash. His hair is long and wavy, and he has a calm, direct gaze. The dark background makes his face stand out sharply. The artist used smooth brushstrokes to show light on his skin and clothes, giving it a polished look. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
