About this work
A man with thinning grey hair and a searching gaze is shown from the chest up, wrapped in a scarf and coat, positioned slightly off-center against a backdrop of autumn trees. His features are sketched with soft, unfinished contours that blend into the foliage behind him, giving the impression of a figure caught in a passing moment rather than posed.
Warm rust, ochre and gold tones of autumn leaves surround cooler blue-grey passages in the sky and clothing, built up with thick, visible brushstrokes and scraped highlights. The loose, painterly handling of the face and background creates a pensive, slightly melancholic atmosphere, as if the sitter is dissolving into the season around him.
