About this work

This painting shows a person with short gray hair and a light beard, wearing a dark red-brown coat over a white collar. Their face is turned slightly to the side, with a calm expression and a soft gaze. The background is a muted gray-green, and there’s a faint hint of another object—maybe a hat or cloth—at the bottom left corner. The brushstrokes are loose and warm, giving the painting a gentle, lived-in feel. The artist’s signature, *Maria Wiik*, is tucked in the corner, dated 1917. Next, look up artist: Wiik, Maria to see more of her work.
