This painting is a portrait of a man with white hair, wearing a red coat over a black shirt with a white collar and a small brooch. The background is black, and the painting appears to be old and worn, with visible scratches and marks on the surface. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, adds to the overall sense of drama and intensity in the painting. The painting is held at the National Museum in Warsaw.
