Portrait of a Man

About this work

This painting shows a man’s face and shoulders turned slightly away. The background is loose, swirling brushstrokes in blue, pink, and brown, while his skin and clothes are softer strokes of beige and gray. The artist left some edges rough, especially around his neck and collar. The signature in the corner reads "Duncan Grant," and the style feels quick and sketchy, like a first draft. The colors are muted but pop in places, especially the blue stripes behind him. Look up Duncan Grant to see more of his loose, expressive style.
