About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark coat and light shirt, staring straight ahead. His face is rounded with a short beard, and his hair is dark red-brown. The background is a rough, earthy brown with no clear details. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Next, look up *impasto* to see how other artists used this technique.
