About this work

This is a loose, watercolor-style portrait of a man with a mustache. He wears a bright, patterned turban and a dark jacket with faint stripes. The brushstrokes are quick and sketchy, leaving some areas blurry. The signature in the corner says "I. Georgescu 1887," hinting this is a self-portrait. The colors are bold but uneven, like a quick sketch rather than a polished work. Next, look up Georgescu, Ion to see more of his loose, expressive style.
