Q131586223 is a 1555 oil by Hans Asper, a northern_renaissance work, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
This portrait depicts a man with curly brown hair, wearing a red jacket over a white turtleneck. He is seated at a desk, holding a tool in his right hand. The background is dark, with a subtle pattern visible on the man's jacket. The man's attire and the tool he holds suggest that he may be an artist or craftsman. The painting's style and the use of oil paint on a wooden panel are characteristic of 16th-century European art. The artist's attention to detail and use of chiaroscuro create a sense of depth and volume in the painting. For more information on this technique, look up "chiaroscuro".
