About this work

This painting shows a man with a bald head and a mustache. He’s wearing a dark jacket with light threads woven through it. The background is a mix of gray and faded colors, and his face is lit softly from one side. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on his jacket. This style makes the fabric look almost three-dimensional, like you could run your fingers over it. If you like this look, try searching impasto.
