About this work
An older man with thinning white hair, deep-set eyes and a grey moustache and beard is seated, turned slightly to one side; his bare forearm rests on a surface in the foreground while the rest of his body is wrapped in a heavy dark coat. The background is an undefined, softly worked brown-grey space that gives no further setting.
The face is built from patches of warm flesh tone streaked with blue and violet shadow, while the coat dissolves into near-black strokes scraped and dragged across the canvas. Light falls only on the head and hand, leaving the rest in deep shadow, and the rough, somber handling gives the portrait a heavy, brooding presence.
