About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark suit with a white collar and tie. His face is serious, with sharp angles and a strong jawline. The background is messy, with blocks of color—mostly blues and browns—that don’t quite form a clear scene. The man’s hair is painted in thick, uneven strokes, giving it a rough texture. His suit looks stiff, almost like it’s made of patches of color rather than fabric. This painting uses a technique called impasto.
