About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man with a serious expression. His face is mostly red and pink, with a thick white collar showing at the bottom. The paint looks rough, almost like it was done quickly. The background is dark, making the face stand out. The signature in the corner reads "Gallen-Kallela." That’s the artist’s name. The painting feels raw, like the brushstrokes were applied thickly. Look up impasto next to see how this technique works.
