About this work

This painting shows a soldier wearing a dark green jacket with a red star and a medal. The person has a serious expression and is wearing a dark cap. The background is plain and blurry, keeping focus on the face and uniform. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on the jacket and face, giving it a rough, textured look. This style makes the soldier appear real and alive. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
