About this work
A person is shown from the chest up, wearing a dark, wide-brimmed hat pulled low over the brow, head bowed with eyes cast downward and the face lit from one side against a near-black background. A white, loosely painted ruffled scarf with a small red accent covers the throat above a muted olive-brown coat.
Thick impasto and loaded palette-knife strokes build dark earthy browns, olives and near-blacks that swallow most of the form, while single-source lighting picks out the cheekbone, nose and scarf in warm and cold highlights. The loose, physical brushwork and downcast gaze give the portrait a somber, inward, contemplative feeling.
