About this work

This portrait depicts a young man dressed in a black coat with a white collar and a white necktie. He is seated, holding a book in his right hand, which rests on a table or chair. The background is dark, and the overall atmosphere is somber. The subject's attire and the book he holds suggest that he is a man of religion or learning. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume in the painting, with the subject's face and hands illuminated against the dark background. The painting is held at the National Library of Wales.
