About this work
A close-up portrait shows a middle-aged man with tousled hair and deep-set, watchful eyes, a hand-rolled cigarette held between his lips, his face and torso cut across by an intruding black triangular shape. At lower left, a small vignette shows a boy strumming a guitar, set beside a vertical strip of Cyrillic verse and the printed words "from books," with the name "Vysotsky" signed beneath the image.
Fine stippled and cross-hatched etching lines build a luminous, tightly modeled face against near-solid black grounds, while the graphic, collage-like division of the composition juxtaposes portrait and narrative vignette. The effect is intimate and reflective, evoking a quiet homage to a singer-poet.
