This painting shows a man with a thick mustache and beard wearing a dark coat and a tall, fuzzy hat. He holds a pipe in his right hand, and his face has a serious expression. The background is plain and blurry, keeping all focus on him. The brushstrokes are thick, especially on his face and hat, giving it texture. This style makes the man stand out sharply against the soft background. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
