Description
A young man’s head and shoulders emerge from an almost black background, his dark hair falling loosely across his forehead. He turns his face slightly toward the viewer, his large dark eyes catching the light while the rest of the picture stays deep in shadow.
A crisp white collar, painted in a few broad strokes, is the brightest note in the composition, setting off the sitter’s pale complexion and dark jacket. The handling is direct and economical, with the paint thinned in the shadows and built up more thickly on the face.
This intimate portrait is available as a hand-painted oil reproduction or an archival canvas print, made to order in the size you choose, true to the proportions of the small original panel.
