About this work

This painting shows an older man with a bald head and a gray mustache. He’s wearing a dark jacket over a lighter shirt and holds a wooden cane in his right hand. The background is dark and blurry, but you can make out a hint of patterned fabric or curtains behind him. The artist focused on the man’s face and hands, making them look almost three-dimensional. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially on his jacket, giving it texture. If you like this style, look up impasto.
