This painting shows a man sitting in a dimly lit room. He’s wearing a dark coat and light pants, with one leg crossed over the other. His hands rest on his knees, and he has a serious expression. Behind him, a window lets in a little light, and a desk with some books is visible. The brushwork looks loose, almost sketchy in places, giving the painting a rough texture. The lighting is dramatic, with dark shadows around his face and body. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro.
