This painting shows a man with a dark background. He has a mustache, a white collar, and a green ribbon at his neck. Above his head, there’s a small, colorful bird in flight. The painting uses strong light and shadow to make his face stand out. The dark background helps focus on him, almost like he’s floating. Look up chiaroscuro to learn more about this lighting trick.
