This painting shows a man in a dark suit, white shirt, and tie, with a handkerchief in his pocket. His face is serious, with a mustache and neatly combed hair. The background is a soft, warm color that makes the man stand out. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on the jacket and background, giving it a slightly rough texture. The lighting focuses on the man’s face, making it pop against the darker suit. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting trick works.
