About this work

This portrait features a man with a black cap and a white collar, set against a dark background. He is dressed in a dark jacket with buttons, and his face is turned to the left. The painting is done in oil paint. The man's attire and the style of the painting suggest that it is from the late 18th century. The use of dark colors and the focus on the subject's face create a sense of intimacy and seriousness. The painting is held at the Kunsthaus Zürich, and its style is reminiscent of the chiaroscuro technique, which uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
