About this work

This painting shows a man with a beard and dark hair, sitting in a dim room. He’s wearing a dark coat and a white shirt with a high collar, resting his chin on his hand. Behind him, a patterned cushion is visible on what looks like a chair or couch. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on his face and clothes. This style makes the painting feel lively and real. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
