About this work

This painting shows a bearded man in a green robe holding a long necklace with red beads. Behind him, part of another figure in red and gold is visible, but only their shoulder and arm show. The man’s sleeves are white with lace trim, and he wears a dark green cap. The necklace he’s adjusting looks like a religious symbol, possibly a cross. The dark background makes his face stand out sharply. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this lighting effect works.
