About this work

This painting is a portrait of a man, likely C. Demetriad, from 1872. He has short hair and a beard, and is wearing a dark jacket with a white collar and a light-colored tie. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's expression is serious, and he's looking directly at the viewer.

If you like this style of painting, you might also want to check out the Impressionism movement, which was popular around the same time this painting was created.
