Portrait of old man sitting is a 1898 unspecified by Frydas Zephyros, a Impressionism work, held at Athens School of Fine Arts.
This painting shows an older man sitting in a chair. He’s wearing a dark coat, a light shirt, and glasses resting on his face. His hands are folded loosely, and his expression is calm but serious. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all focus on him. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, which makes the man’s face and clothes look soft and real. It’s like the artist painted quickly, capturing the moment rather than every detail. If you like this style, look up Realism next.
This painter made portraits in the late 1800s, a time when artists often captured quiet, solitary moments.
