About this work

This painting shows a man sitting outdoors, wearing a dark hat, a brown vest over a white shirt, and a high collar. Behind him, bright red flowers and green leaves blur into a soft background. His face is painted with quick, visible brushstrokes, giving it a textured look. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the man’s face and clothes stand out against the softer background. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Check out more about impasto to see how other artists used it.
