About this work

This painting shows a man with a mustache and glasses, looking off to the side. He’s dressed in a dark suit with a light-colored shirt and tie, but the brushstrokes are loose and rough. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all the focus on his face. The artist didn’t smooth out the paint—it looks almost sketchy, like they hurried or worked quickly. The man’s expression is calm but serious, with a hint of weariness. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
