About this work
A bearded man with tousled dark hair stands half-length, arms folded across his chest, one pale hand emerging from the deep black mass of his coat. His head is turned slightly downward and to the side, gaze averted, his face and hand the only areas picked out in warm flesh tones against the enveloping dark garment.
The background dissolves into a soft haze of dusty rose, gray and pale blue, applied with broad, dragging strokes that leave the black coat rough and unfinished at its edges. The stark contrast between luminous skin and near-black clothing, under a diffuse, even light, gives the portrait a quiet, somber gravity.
