Portrait of a Bearded Man

Πορτρέτο Γενειοφόρου Άνδρα

A bearded man is rendered in fine, searching lines against an almost untouched ground. Careful modelling around the eyes, brow, and mouth gives the sitter a concentrated, inward expression. The shoulders dissolve into loose hatching, keeping attention on the psychological presence of the face. Restraint and precision transform a direct likeness into a quiet study of character.
