This painting shows a close-up of a person wearing a white hat and a ruffled collar. The face looks tired, with dark shadows under the eyes and rough brushstrokes. The background is a mix of dark reds and browns, making the face stand out. The thick paint gives the portrait a textured, almost carved feel. It’s not smooth or polished—just raw and expressive. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
