This painting shows a man in a suit and tie, his hand resting on his head. His face is half-lit, with shadows darkening one side. The brushstrokes are loose and thick, especially on his jacket and hair. The style looks quick and expressive, like the artist worked fast. The lighting creates strong contrasts between light and dark. Next, check out impasto to see how thick paint like this is used.
