About this work

This painting shows an older man with a white beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark cap and a light-colored shirt with a dark collar. The brushstrokes are loose and textured, giving the face a rough, lived-in look. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with visible strokes of paint. The lighting is uneven, making some parts of his face brighter than others. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
