About this work

This painting shows a man in a light-colored shirt and dark hat. His face is serious, with a mustache and a pale complexion. Behind him, a bright yellow sunflower stands against a plain wall and a red-roofed building. The man’s sleeve is rolled up, revealing a bandaged arm. The colors are flat and bold, with no deep shadows. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can change a painting’s texture.
