Male portrait is a 1900 oil by Stanisław Lentz, held at National Museum in Warsaw.
This painting is a portrait of a man, depicted from the chest up. He has dark hair and wears a dark jacket over a white shirt and dark tie. The man's face is painted with visible brushstrokes, giving the portrait a textured look. His expression is serious, and his eyes seem to gaze directly at the viewer. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
Stanisław Lentz (April 23, 1861 – October 19, 1920) was a Polish painter, portraitist, illustrator, and a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw from 1909.
