About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a military uniform. He’s wearing a tall cap with a badge on top and a dark jacket with two stars on the chest. His face is serious, with a thick mustache and neatly trimmed beard. The painting looks old, with a faded, slightly yellowed background. The edges of the oval frame are worn, and the paper shows small spots. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in portraits.
