Principele Carol is a 1914 by Aristomene Murnu-Gheorghiades, held at National Museum of Romanian History.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with short, dark hair and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark jacket with a high collar, and the background is plain and dark. His face looks serious, with a direct gaze. The painting uses soft shading to show light hitting his face, especially around his cheekbones and forehead. This makes his features stand out against the dark background. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
