About this work

This painting shows a man with a mustache and a white scarf around his neck. He’s wearing a dark coat and rests his hand on what looks like a table or ledge. The background is mostly dark, with some blurred colors and brushstrokes that make it look rough. The artist used thick, visible brushstrokes—almost like they slapped the paint on. This gives the portrait a textured, almost sketchy feel. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
