About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man with light hair tied back. He’s wearing a dark coat over a white shirt with ruffled cuffs and a black vest covered in tiny dots. His face is turned slightly to the side, and the background is plain and dark. The painting uses soft shading to make his face look three-dimensional. The gold frame is simple but fancy, with a beaded edge. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
