This is a simple, flat portrait of a man in a suit and tie. His face is round, with bold lines for the eyebrows and a thick mustache. The colors are basic—pale yellow for the shirt, black for the tie, and soft pinks and blues for the face. The artist used clean, strong outlines and solid blocks of color, almost like a sketch. The man’s expression looks serious, with a slightly open mouth. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next—it’s a technique that uses light and shadow to shape faces.
