About this work
An old man with a full white beard and moustache looks out from beneath a dark cap or turban, his weathered face turned slightly toward the viewer. Deep-set eyes and heavy brows emerge from a mass of textured white and grey hair, set against a shadowy brown background.
Built up with thick impasto and visible knife and brush marks, the face is modeled in warm ochre and cream against near-black shadow, with flecks of blue and crimson enlivening the cap. The heavy, tactile paint surface and dramatic chiaroscuro give the sitter a weighty, contemplative presence.
