This is a portrait of an older man with white hair tied back and a powdered wig. He wears a dark brown coat over a light shirt with a ruffled collar. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on his face. The painting uses soft light and shadow to shape his face and clothes. His expression is calm but serious, with a slight hint of a smile. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
