This painting shows an older man with a long white beard and bushy eyebrows. He’s wearing a dark green jacket and a bright red cap tilted forward. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on his face and the cap, making the colors pop. The red cap stands out against the dark background, drawing your eye. The painting feels alive because of how the paint is applied—it’s not smooth. If you like this style, look up impasto.
