About this work

This is a faded photo of a man with a thick beard and mustache. He’s wearing a dark coat, a light shirt, and a wide-brimmed hat. His hands rest on his lap, and he holds a pipe in his right hand. The edges of the photo are framed in a gold border with a scalloped design. The photo looks old and slightly scratched, like it’s been handled a lot. The lighting is flat, with no strong shadows or highlights. Want to know more about how this style connects to Realism?
