Portretul lui Filip Marin

From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
This is a round portrait of a man with dark hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat over a lighter shirt with a red pin. The background is plain and dark, so the face stands out. The painting looks a bit faded, but you can still see the brushstrokes. The lighting is soft, making his face look three-dimensional. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
