This watercolor shows a man in a white shirt and light tie, facing forward with a serious look. His dark hair is neatly combed, and the background is a loose, grayish wash with a hint of green. The edges of his face and clothes are softly blended, but the details are simple—just enough to recognize him. The artist signed it in the corner with a quick scrawl. The painting feels quick and sketchy, like it was done fast but still captures his face clearly. Check out Larionov for more of his work—he had a bold, colorful style.
