About this work

This painting is a portrait of a man with grey hair and a moustache. He is wearing a dark military-style jacket with gold accents and a white collar. The background is dark, which helps the subject stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking directly at the viewer. The artist has used a range of colours to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look into the Impressionism movement.
