Portret

About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark green suit with a white shirt and striped tie. His hands rest on a book, and he sits in front of a chair with a faintly visible figure in the background. The colors are bold—deep greens, bright reds, and yellows—with thick brushstrokes that make the scene feel lively yet rough. The artist used short, choppy strokes, almost like scribbles, which gives the painting a raw, unfinished look. The man’s face is serious, but the bright colors and messy brushwork make it feel more like a sketch than a polished portrait. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
