This painting shows a man in a dark suit with a white bow tie. His face is serious, with a thick beard and a faint smile. One hand rests on a table, holding what looks like a piece of paper or cloth. The dark background makes his face stand out sharply. The artist used bold contrasts between light and shadow to focus attention on his features. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
