About this work

This painting shows a bald man in a dark suit and white collar, looking slightly upward. His face is plain but expressive, with a mustache and a serious look. The background is a light, blurry color, almost like a curtain or wall. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the painting a sketchy feel. The artist didn’t smooth everything out, which makes the face feel alive. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
