A bearded man in a dark fur coat stands holding a chain with coins. His red sleeves and gold rings show he’s wealthy. Behind him, a stone wall, a small tower, and a bright sky with fluffy clouds. On the ground are a shield with a lion, a sandglass, and a few round fruits. The shield and coins suggest he might be a merchant or official. The sandglass hints at time or wealth passing. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
