About this work

This is a simple watercolor portrait of a man in a dark coat and white cravat. His face is serious, with short dark hair and a high forehead. The background is plain and light, keeping all focus on him. The artist used soft, blended strokes to show shadows and light on his face. This makes his features look calm but a little tired.
