This portrait depicts a man with a round face and white hair, wearing a white shirt and a black scarf. He is shown from the chest up, facing forward. The background is dark. The man's attire suggests he may be a clergyman. His expression is neutral, and his gaze is directed at the viewer. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up chiaroscuro.
