The painting depicts a man standing in a room, wearing a hat and coat. He has his hands in his pockets and is looking to the side. The room has a window and a bar with bottles on it. In the background, there is another man sitting at the bar, looking at the standing man. The atmosphere seems quiet and contemplative. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and mood. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up the technique.
