About this work
An elderly man with a full white beard and weathered, deeply lined face fills the frame in close-up. He wears a tall red cap trimmed in black and a red military-style jacket with gold buttons and epaulettes, its collar open at the neck. His pale eyes look directly out from beneath heavy brows.
Strong red and orange pastel strokes model the cap and coat against a scrubbed grey-blue background worked in circular strokes. Thick white and grey marks build the beard's texture, and the warm palette set against the cool ground gives the character study a weathered, dignified intensity.
