About this work

This painting shows a man in profile, dressed in a black coat with a white collar. His dark hair is neatly combed, and he has a serious expression. The background is a plain, muted blue-gray, keeping all focus on his face and shoulders. The artist used pastels and watercolor on paper, giving the portrait a soft, slightly blurred look. The edges of the paper are visible, showing it was made from two pieces taped together. Next, check out Bascom, Ruth Henshaw to see more of her work.
