A Man in a White Domino Seen from Behind is a 1705 oil by Luca Carlevarijs, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man from behind, wearing a white domino costume with red trim on the sleeves and a black hat. He is standing in front of a brown background. The man's posture suggests he is about to move or gesture, and the folds of his costume are depicted in detail. The painting's style is characteristic of the early 18th century, with loose brushstrokes and a focus on texture. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and volume to the figure.
