This painting shows a man in a dark coat with a high collar, looking off to the side. His face is serious, with a pale complexion and a hint of red on his cheeks. The background is blurry, mostly green and gray, with faint shapes that might be buildings or trees. The brushstrokes are loose, especially around his face and coat, giving it a sketchy feel. The artist signed it in the top right corner, but the name isn’t easy to read. If you like this style, look up Ruokokoski, Jalmari next.
