This black-and-white painting shows a person wearing a wide-brimmed hat and glasses. They’re dressed in a light jacket with a collar, sitting indoors with a dark background behind them. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, especially on the face and hat. The artist used simple lines and shading to create a calm, everyday look. The style feels more like a sketch than a polished portrait. If you like this loose, expressive style, check out impasto.
