A man in a dark suit and white collar sits with his hands pressed together under his chin. His face is turned slightly away, looking down and to the side. The background is plain and dark, with just a hint of a carved surface visible on the right. His expression is quiet, almost thoughtful. The lighting focuses on his face, leaving the rest of the painting shadowed. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting technique works.
