About this work

This painting shows a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a dark coat with a white collar. His face is serious, with a pale complexion and a hint of stubble. The background is plain and dark, focusing all attention on his face and clothing. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, giving the painting a rough, almost sculpted look. This technique makes the man’s features stand out sharply against the background. Look up impasto to learn more about how this painting’s texture works.
