This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in his 30s or 40s. He’s wearing a dark coat over a white shirt with a high collar, and his curly hair is slightly messy. His expression is serious, almost intense, with a slight frown. The sketchy style makes the edges soft, like the artist worked fast or used a light touch. The signature in the corner says *Grevedon*, and the words *Ludwig van Beethoven* are written below his head. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
