About this work

A man stands in a dark, plain background, dressed in rich red robes and a black fur-lined cloak. His black hat has a feather tucked in, and a gold chain drapes across his chest. One hand holds a curved sword with a jeweled handle, while the other rests on a white sash. The paint is smooth, with soft shadows on his face and clothes. The name "Mihai Racoviță" is written in gold letters on the right side. The background has a small shield-like emblem, but it’s faded and hard to make out. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
