Cap de bătrân

This is a close-up portrait of an older man with a round face and a long white beard. His skin looks weathered, with a mix of pale and slightly reddish tones. The background is a dark, textured blue-gray, keeping all focus on his face. The painting feels rough around the edges, like it’s been handled a lot. The colors are simple but warm, especially on his beard and cheeks. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro* next.
