This painting shows a man in a dark coat and white shirt, holding a small book in one hand and adjusting a glove with the other. His face is serious, with short dark hair and a neatly trimmed beard. A star-shaped medal sits on his left lapel, and the background is plain black. The name at the top is written in Greek letters, and the signature in the corner reads "Prossalendis, 1882." The dark background and strong lighting on his face create a striking contrast. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting technique works.
