From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
This is a portrait of a bald man with a mustache and a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark frock coat over a light shirt and a dark tie, standing against a plain, dark background. The painting looks slightly faded, with brushstrokes visible in the shadows. The man’s face is lit softly, making his features stand out against the dark backdrop. The artist used subtle shading to shape his face and clothes, giving it a quiet, focused feel. Want to see more? Look up chiaroscuro to learn about this lighting technique.
