About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark jacket and white collar, looking straight ahead with a serious expression. His face is mostly brown and pink, with quick brushstrokes that leave some colors rough. The background is blurry, with hints of green and beige, and the edges of the painting look uneven. The brushwork is thick in places, giving the face texture. The artist didn’t smooth everything out—some strokes are visible, making the painting feel alive. If you like this style, look up impasto.
