Dominant colour
General Smallwood is a 1883 by Max Rosenthal, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a man in a military uniform. He has a bald head, a serious expression, and a neatly trimmed white beard. His uniform jacket has buttons down the front and a star on the shoulder, suggesting he holds a high rank. The signature at the bottom reads "Max Rosenthal," which matches the artist’s name in the facts. The dark background makes his face stand out sharply. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next to see how artists use light and shadow.
