This painting shows an older man with white hair and a mustache. He’s dressed in a dark suit, holding a cigarette holder in one hand. Behind him, a shelf holds brushes and a few framed pictures. The colors are mostly muted, with a warm glow on his face. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on his jacket and the background. This makes the painting feel more like a sketch than a polished work. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
