This painting shows a young man with dark hair and a serious look. He’s wearing a dark coat with a light scarf and a green shirt. The background is plain, mostly light blue and white, keeping the focus on his face. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on his coat and hair, giving it a rough, almost sculpted feel. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold, textured style.
