Peter Paul Rubensin omakuva, kopio is an unspecified by tekijä ei tiedossa, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with a dark hat and a light beard. He’s wearing a black garment with a gold trim at the neck. His face is turned slightly to the side, and the lighting makes his skin glow against the dark background. The painting uses strong contrasts between light and shadow on his face. This makes his features stand out sharply. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works.
This unknown artist left behind work that feels like a hushed conversation in a candlelit chapel.
