This painting shows an older man in a dark coat with a white wig. His face looks tired but sharp. One hand rests on a table covered with red cloth. The artist painted him without a name or title. That makes this work hard to place. The style feels stiff, like old family photos. This painting reminds me of Goya’s portraits. Check out the Museum of Ethnography.
