This painting shows a man in a dark, shadowy background. He’s dressed in a formal outfit with a high collar, striped vest, and a white cravat. His left hand rests on a curved staff, and he holds a small object in his right hand. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the painting a rough, textured look. The lighting is dramatic, with dark tones everywhere except on the man’s face and hands. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting technique works.
