About this work

The painting depicts an elderly man sitting at a table, intently focused on his task. He is dressed in a brown robe and hat, with a white beard and hair. His hands are positioned on the table, with one hand holding a small object and the other resting on the surface. The table itself is made of wood and features a few scattered coins. In the background, the room is dimly lit, with a subtle glow emanating from the left side of the image. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, as the elderly man appears lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, explore the works of Lauréus, Alexander.
