This painting shows a man in dark clothes with a big white collar and a chain necklace. His beard is neatly trimmed, and he wears a serious expression. Behind him, a small dog sits on a red cushion, looking up at him. On the wall, there’s a round shield with a coat of arms. The dog’s pose is unusual—it’s almost like it’s reaching out to the man. The dark background makes the man and the dog stand out sharply. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
