About this work
An elderly bald man faces the viewer almost frontally, a fringe of white hair at his temples, deep creases across his forehead, and a faint smile. He wears a white shirt with a small patterned bow tie beneath a heavy dark brown jacket, set against a streaked blue-grey background.
Ruddy pinks and tans in the face contrast with the cool grey backdrop and near-black coat, applied in thick, visible strokes that build the texture of aged skin. Light strikes the forehead and cheeks strongly from the front, leaving the eyes shadowed beneath heavy brows. The handling is direct and unsentimental, giving the sitter a weathered, dignified presence.
