This painting shows a man sitting in a chair. He's dressed in fancy clothes from the 1600s. The man in the painting is Charles Killigrew, and what's interesting is that he was a theater person, which might explain the fancy outfit. The painting gives us a glimpse of what people wore back then. The artist paid attention to details like the folds of the clothes. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Lely, Peter, Sir.
