This is a close-up portrait of a man wearing a wide-brimmed black hat tilted to one side. His face is lit from the front, with warm tones on his skin and a dark background. The man has a mustache and a slight smile, looking directly at the viewer. The lighting creates strong shadows under his hat and along his jaw, giving his face a three-dimensional look. This effect is called *chiaroscuro*—a technique artists use to add depth with light and dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how other artists used it.
