This painting shows a man in a hat, vest, and bow tie. He faces the viewer, but his eyes are cast downward. The background is a wall with a window and a painting on it. The man's face is painted with loose, expressive brushstrokes, giving the portrait a sense of spontaneity. The overall effect is one of quiet introspection. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this self-portrait, you might want to look up Raymond McIntyre.
