About this work

This painting shows a man’s head and shoulders from the chest up. His face is serious, with a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. The background is dark, making his face stand out, while his white collar and dark clothing add contrast. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on his face, giving it a textured look. The lighting focuses on his features, making shadows deep and highlights sharp. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
