About this work

This painting shows a person standing with arms crossed, wearing a dark coat and a white collar. Their face is serious, with dark hair and a slight mustache. The background is blurry with warm yellow and brown colors. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold, tactile style.
