A man in a dark blue coat stands against a plain background. His white cravat is neatly tied, and one hand rests on a white glove. His hair is powdered, and he looks straight ahead with a calm expression. The dark background makes his face stand out clearly. The artist used smooth brushstrokes to show light on his skin and clothes. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works.
