About this work

This is a portrait of a man with a long beard and wavy hair. He’s wearing a dark suit, a white shirt, and a black bow tie. The background is a plain, dark green color, keeping all the focus on his face. The brushstrokes on his face are soft, blending light and shadow smoothly. His expression is serious but calm, with a slight intensity in his eyes. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
