About this work

This painting shows a man in a bright red military jacket with black trim and silver buttons. His dark coat has a fur collar, and he wears a black hat tucked under his arm. His face is serious, with a neatly trimmed mustache and dark hair. The painting uses strong light and shadow to make the man stand out against a dark background. This effect draws your eyes right to him. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
