Story

About the work

The bust of a young man with swept-back hair, an open-collared white shirt, a cravat and a dark jacket stands out against a deep black ground. Charcoal models the face in soft gradations under side lighting, in the spirit of a studio portrait photograph from another era. Signed lower right.
