About this work
An elderly man with a white beard and moustache, wearing a green fedora and purple waistcoat, is shown close up against a riverside backdrop. Behind him a stone arched bridge spans a river before a hazy cityscape, while a cluster of period-dressed figures - a woman in a plumed hat among others - gathers at right beneath autumn-colored trees.
Thick, dabbed strokes of ochre, teal, and mauve build the crowded background into a shimmering blur, while the man's face is rendered with more defined modeling and warm flesh tones. The heavy impasto and clashing color patches give the scene a restless, painterly energy despite its quiet, reflective subject.
