This painting shows a young man in profile, wearing a white hat and a light-colored coat with a high collar. His face is turned slightly toward us, and the background is dark, making his features stand out. The brushstrokes are smooth, with soft shading on his skin and clothing. The painting looks like it was done in 1918 by a Romanian artist. The lighting is simple but effective, focusing on the face and shoulders. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
