About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man with a large, curly white wig that covers his shoulders. His face is serious, with deep lines and a neatly trimmed beard. He wears a dark, patterned cravat over a plain collar. The painting uses strong contrasts between light and dark to make the face stand out. The background is completely black, which draws attention to the man’s features. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting technique works.
