About this work

This is a portrait of an older man with a bald head and a serious expression. He’s wearing a dark coat with a white collar visible at the neck. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on his face. The painting uses soft lighting to show his wrinkles and the texture of his skin. It looks like the artist paid close attention to small details, like the way his hair recedes or the slight shadow under his eyes. Next, look up Lytras Nikiforos to see more of his work.
