About this work
The composition is a tight head-and-shoulders portrait of an old man with a full grey-gold beard and heavy-lidded, downcast eyes. He wears a tall, wide hat with a upturned brim decorated in swirling gold embroidery on a red ground and a light plume at the crown; his shoulders are draped in a dark red garment against a flat, cool teal background.
Warm ochre and orange skin tones and the hat's red play against the cool blue-green backdrop, with a strong single light source carving deep shadows into the face's wrinkles and hollows. Brushwork is loose and confident, thickly built up in the hat's ornament, giving the weathered face a dramatic, dignified presence.
