About this work

This painted study shows two heads of an elderly man, one turned toward the viewer's left and the other in profile, set against a warm ochre ground. The loose, textured brushwork and rosy flushed cheeks define the faces, while the cravat and waistcoat are sketched in muted browns and yellows.
