A man in fancy clothes stands in a dimly lit room, holding a folded paper. His dark blue coat has a white sash with a red stripe, and a medal glints at his chest. Behind him, a small table holds an open book and a sleeping cat. A red cloth drapes over a chair to his right, and a dark curtain frames the scene. The painting’s shadows make the man’s face stand out against the gloomy background. The artist used light and dark to guide your eye. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
