This painting shows a man in a dark suit, with a white shirt and a dark bow tie. He has a mustache and short hair. His left hand is on his hip. The background is a plain, light color. The man's face is serious, and he looks straight ahead. His suit is buttoned, and his bow tie is neatly tied. The overall mood of the painting is formal and somber. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimension in the painting. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
