Portrait of an old man

This is an oil on canvas portrait of an elderly man seated against a dark, muted background. He wears a wide black hat and a dark coat with a white collar, and his face is rendered in warm flesh tones with a light mustache and graying hair. The composition is a bust-to-torso view with both hands resting on the chair arms, and the painter uses visible, broad brushstrokes and a restrained palette of browns, blacks, and ochre.
