About this work

This painting shows a man with a serious face, wearing a dark sweater and a light collar. His hair is gray and messy, and he’s looking slightly off to the side. The background is dark and blurry, making his face stand out. The brushstrokes are thick, giving the painting a rough, textured look. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. If you like this style, look up impasto to see more paintings with bold, tactile brushwork.
