About this work

This painting shows a young man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a light-colored shirt with rolled-up sleeves. His face is serious, with a slight frown and tired eyes. The background is a soft blur of blue and green, like a distant landscape. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The artist didn’t smooth everything out—you can see where the paint was applied in chunks. If you like this style, look up impasto.
