About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark green military coat with gold trim and red accents. His white wig is powdered, and he wears a large decorative brooch at his neck. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on him. His left hand rests on a chair arm, while his right hand holds a small object—maybe a glove or a paper. The lighting makes his face stand out against the shadowy background. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
