About this work
A young man is shown head-and-shoulders, facing the viewer with a direct, unsmiling gaze. His dark hair falls in loose strands over his forehead, and he wears a blue zip-up athletic top with a white stripe and collar trim, set against a mottled turquoise-green backdrop.
Warm ochre and pink flesh tones are modeled with visible, confident brushstrokes and firm shadow planes across the face. The cool green ground sets off the blue of the garment, and the direct, frontal light gives the study a sober, searching, academic character.
