About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a man wearing a tall black top hat. His face is serious, with a mustache and a slight frown. The background is plain, so all focus stays on him. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving it a rough, hand-drawn feel. The colors are simple—black, brown, and a muted yellowish background. Next, look up *watercolor* to see how artists use this medium differently.
