A man in dark clothes stands against a pale blue sky. His face is sharp and serious. The background blurs into soft brushstrokes. This portrait was painted in 1885. It blends realism—detailed features—with impressionist softness. That mix makes it stand out. See how the light plays on his collar. It’s painted thickly, almost like paste. Try impasto for yourself—look up impasto.
