This is a close-up portrait of a bald man with a serious expression. His face is mostly in shadow, but you can see his eyes looking off to the side. The lines around his face are loose and sketchy, like a quick drawing. The artist used soft, earthy tones—mostly browns and grays—with just a hint of color on his skin. The background is plain white, so all the focus stays on his face. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how it works.
