This painting shows a man with a full white beard and mustache, dressed in dark clothes. His hands rest on his lap, and the background is mostly black with a hint of a draped fabric. The lighting focuses on his face, making it stand out against the shadows. The dark background and strong light on the face suggest the artist used a technique called *chiaroscuro*. This method creates depth by playing with light and dark areas. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how it works in other famous artworks.
