About this work

This painting shows a man with a big, curly white wig and a serious expression. His face is lit from the side, making one side of his face brighter than the other. He’s wearing a dark, patterned collar that stands out against the plain background. The text around the edges says his name is Maximilian von Seyler and adds some dates in German. The painting looks old, with careful brushstrokes that make the wig and face stand out clearly. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro to learn how artists use light and shadow like this.
