    The almost monochromatic , subtle restraint of this portrait is so rich. This is a Mannerist portrait in character - almost as if Caravaggio took up photography. Wow! G

    @ FoamStudio: Thanks, but I didn’t take the photo myself. It was done by Erwin Olaf, from the Netherlands. He’s excellent, isn’t he?

    @ Suburbanlife: I’ve noticed you have an impressive ability to articulate your insights on the visual arts. Thank you so much for sharing them here!

    I agree, I immediately though “Caravaggio” the moment I saw this.

    Stunning photograph.
