This painting shows a man in a dark suit and white shirt, sitting with his hands resting on the arm of a chair. His red tie stands out against the plain colors. The background is a warm, blurred brown, keeping all focus on him. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on his hands and jacket, giving it a slightly rough texture. His face is calm but serious, with a thick mustache and neatly combed hair. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
