Description
Study Head of an Old Man concentrates on a deeply lined face with thinning gray hair. Thick, warm strokes of paint describe the forehead and cheek, while a pale beard and downward gaze give the figure a reflective presence.
Painted in the style of Rembrandt, the study draws its force from the contrast between the illuminated head and the dark surrounding clothing. The visibly worked surface keeps Study Head of an Old Man immediate and tactile, with every change of light contributing to the expression.
