About this work

This painting shows a close-up of an older man with a long white beard and curly hair. He’s resting his chin on his hand, looking down with a quiet expression. The dark background makes his face stand out, and the brushstrokes on his beard and hair are thick and textured. The painting focuses on his face and hands, giving it a simple but detailed feel. The way light and shadow separate his features suggests careful attention to how light falls on skin. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this technique works in other art.
