About this work

This painting shows a man in a red jacket and tie, looking off to the side. The background is a flat, warm orange color. His face is simple, with a mustache and short hair. The artist used pastel on a special textured paper that looks almost like fabric. The colors are soft but bold, with the red jacket standing out against the orange. Look up pastel to see how artists use this material to create smooth, vibrant colors.
