This is a portrait of a man in a dark oval frame. He wears a red cloak over a white shirt with lace cuffs, resting one hand on his chest. His curly wig is dark, and he has a serious expression with a pale face. The background is plain, keeping focus on his clothes and face. The lighting makes his skin glow while shadows darken the edges. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
