About this work

This painting shows an older man in a thick coat and tall hat. His face is lined, and he holds a walking stick. The background is plain, with just a hint of a building and a clock on a pole. The brushstrokes are loose and rough, giving the painting a sketchy feel. The colors are mostly muted, but the hat and coat stand out a bit.
