The man's face is turned slightly to the right, and his eyes are cast downward. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to highlight the subject's features. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this piece, you might want to look up Guercino.
