The painting shows an elderly man with his eyes lowered. He's wearing simple clothes and has a calm face. The paint was applied to paper, which is unusual, and then mounted on cardboard. This painting is interesting because of its unusual materials. The artist used oil paint and oil pastels on paper. This combination gives the portrait a unique texture. You can learn more about this technique by looking up "impasto".
