Μάνος Φαλτάϊτς is a 2001 unspecified by Dietrich Grootjans, held at Manos & Anastasia Faltaits Folk Art & Ethnographic Museum.
This painting shows an older man with a white beard and bald head. His face is lit from the side, leaving the left side mostly dark. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on his skin and beard, giving it a textured look. The artist signed it in the corner, but no other details are visible. The dark background makes the man’s face stand out sharply. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how lighting like this works.
Dietrich Grootjans carried a tiny notebook everywhere and sketched strangers’ hands in the tram.
