About this work

This painting is a portrait of a man in a blue military coat with gold accents and a white collar. He has short white hair and is looking to the right. The background is dark, which makes the subject stand out. The man's expression is serious, and his eyes seem to be looking into the distance. His hair is neatly styled, and his coat is buttoned up, giving him a sense of formality. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this portrait, you might want to look up James Sharples.
