About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark blue military uniform with gold epaulettes and buttons. His face is serious, with a mustache and short hair. He’s holding a pair of gloves in one hand, and the background is plain and dark. The uniform looks formal, with a small emblem on the shoulder. The artist painted the face and hands with careful detail, making them stand out. Look up chiaroscuro to see how lighting creates depth in paintings like this.
