About this work

The painting is a portrait of a man with dark hair and a beard, wearing a black jacket over a white shirt and a red scarf. He is holding a wooden object in his right hand. The background is a light-colored wall. The man's attire and hairstyle suggest a formal setting, possibly a studio or a wealthy household. The artist has used a range of colors to create depth and contrast in the painting. This painting is a good example of the work of artist József Borsos.
