This painting shows a serious-looking man in a dark suit and white collar. His face is mostly dark, with just a hint of light on his forehead and cheekbones. The background is almost black, making his face stand out sharply. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on his mustache and suit. This gives the painting a textured, almost three-dimensional look in some spots. Check out impasto next to see how artists use thick paint for this effect.
