About this work

This painting shows a man sitting in a chair. He's dressed in formal clothes and looks serious. The artist used a simple background to focus on the man. The man in the painting is Emil Elenius, a writer. I don't know much about him, but it's interesting that the artist chose to paint him. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of sfumato.
