About this work

This painting shows a man with a long white beard and mustache. He’s wearing a red cap and a dark fur collar over a light-colored shirt. His face is serious, and he holds something wrapped in his left hand. The dark background makes his face stand out sharply. The painting looks old, with brushstrokes that feel thick in some spots. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
