About this work

The painting is a portrait of a man with a bald head, wearing round glasses and a collared shirt. His head is turned to the left, and his right hand is raised to his chin. The image is rendered in black ink on a beige background. The subject's facial expression is contemplative, with a furrowed brow and pursed lips. His eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The overall effect is one of quiet introspection. To learn more about the artist's use of bold lines and expressive facial expressions, explore the works of George Grosz.
