About this work

This painting shows a man wearing a dark green jacket and a striped tie. His face is serious, with short dark hair and a slight shadow on his cheek. The background is dark and blurry, putting all the focus on him. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on his collar and jacket, giving it a rough, textured look. This might be because the artist used *impasto*—thick paint applied with a palette knife. Check out technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint to create texture.
