About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a serious-looking man with curly hair and a white ruff collar. His face is round, and he’s staring straight ahead with a neutral expression. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The text around the painting says “Dietrich von Gartz” and mentions a time period (1644–1652). The small crest in the corner looks like a family symbol. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
