About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man wearing thick glasses and a dark cap. His face is painted in earthy browns and greens, with a blue scarf or collar peeking out. The brushstrokes are loose and rough, giving it a textured, almost sketchy look. The artist didn’t focus on details—just the main shapes and colors. The background is a flat green, so the face stands out clearly. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro—it’s a technique using strong light and shadow.
