About this work
A robed man with long flowing hair and a full beard is shown half-length, his clasped hands resting in front of him. His face, lit in warm ochre and flesh tones, stands out against an almost black robe and an indistinct, deeply shadowed background with faint warm accents at the edges.
Thick, textured paint and dragged, scraped brushwork build the dark robe and background into near-abstract passages, while smoother, more descriptive strokes model the lit face and hands. The stark contrast between the glowing flesh and the surrounding darkness creates a heavy, somber, meditative mood.
