About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark, heavy coat with gold embroidery on his chest and shoulders. His face is serious, and he holds a folded paper or small object in his right hand. The background is mostly dark with a faint greenish glow and what looks like a window or opening behind him. The gold trim on his coat stands out sharply against the dark fabric, drawing attention to his rank or status. The lighting is dramatic, with shadows making his face and hands look three-dimensional. This kind of lighting is called chiaroscuro.
