About this work
A close-cropped, circular portrait shows an older bald man with a wide, toothy grin, his ruddy cheeks and forehead catching warm light while deep-set eyes crease with laughter; wisps of dark hair and hints of drapery or foliage frame the edges of the tondo.
Rendered mostly in near-black, sepia and warm ochre, the face is built up with loose, scratchy strokes and dry-brushed highlights that leave the underlying ground visible; the strong contrast and jovial expression give the small tondo an immediate, theatrical energy.
