This painting shows a man in a dark, fuzzy background. He’s wearing a fancy white cravat and a dark coat, holding a piece of paper in his right hand. His face looks serious, with a slight frown and a direct gaze. The title hints this might be a character from a play—*Tartuffe*—but the painting itself is just a close-up portrait. The lighting is dramatic, with shadows making his face stand out. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
