A man stands in front of a curtain, lit from the side so his face is half-shadowed. He wears a fancy hat with feathers, a ruffled collar, and a dark coat with gold trim. His beard is thick, and he holds a glove in one hand. The light and dark contrast make his face look almost three-dimensional. The artist copied this style from someone else. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
