About this work

This painting shows a man with a bald head and a short beard. He’s wearing a white ruff collar and a dark jacket with gold embroidery. A red strap crosses his chest, holding something that looks like a weapon or tool. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the man’s face and the red strap, making them stand out. His expression is calm but serious, with a slight hint of a smile. If you like how the light and shadow create depth here, look up chiaroscuro.
