About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man with a serious expression. His dark hair and mustache frame a pale face, and he wears a dark coat over a light collar. The background is a plain, dark green, keeping all focus on him. The painting’s title, *Horea*, is written in Latin-like letters at the bottom. It looks like a copy of something older, but the brushwork is loose and modern. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next—it’s a technique that uses strong light and shadow for drama.
