This portrait shows a man in a bright red robe and matching hat. A gold chain with a cross hangs around his neck. His dark beard and mustache frame a serious expression. The artist used soft lighting to highlight his face against the dark background. The red robe stands out sharply. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
