About this work

This painting shows an older man in a white coat and bow tie, holding a paintbrush and palette. He’s smoking a cigarette, and his face has soft pink and gray tones. Behind him, two small framed paintings hang on a muted green wall. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on his jacket and the background, giving it a lived-in feel. The artist’s name, Hugo Backmansson, is signed at the bottom. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
