About this work

A man in a black suit and white bow tie sits at a small table in a dim room. His bald head glows slightly under the light. Behind him, three empty chairs lean against a pale green wall. The chairs are simple, with straight backs and red seats. The table holds a white napkin and a folded cloth. The painting uses bold, flat colors and simple shapes. The man’s face is smooth, almost like a mask. The chairs look stacked carelessly, as if someone just left. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow create drama in paintings.
