Description:
This portrait of a man is the picture of a man from his head down to his hips. The man is bald and has his head tilted slightly to the right with his arms lifted above his hips. The background is green-blue and the man is mostly made up of browns and reds. The piece appears to be incomplete as the man is fully painted, along with his background, at the top while the colors and modeling reduce to mere outlines at the bottom.
