About this work

This painting shows an old man with a thick white beard. He sits in a wooden chair with a dark coat on. One hand grips a cane. His face is wrinkled and he looks tired. Keller lived in Cleveland and often painted local people. This man could be a neighbor or someone from the neighborhood. The background is simple, so the focus stays on the man’s expression. Look up Henry Keller (American, born Germany, 1869–1949) to see more of his work.
