This original 1948 oil on canvas is a striking and intimate portrait of an elderly man, painted with careful attention to realism and character. The figure is seated calmly, holding a cane, and dressed in working clothes — a loose blue jacket and high-waisted trousers — suggesting a life shaped by labor and resilience. His expression is contemplative, with downturned eyes and a composed demeanor that evokes both wisdom and fatigue. The artist uses a muted, earthy palette — denim blues, soft browns, and flesh tones — that brings warmth and subtlety to the composition. The green-toned background is softly textured, providing depth without distraction from the subject. Strong but controlled brushwork enhances the folds of the clothing and the fine lines of age in the man's face, giving the painting a powerful sense of life and presence. Signed in the lower left corner, the work is framed in a rectangular, warm beige wood frame that complements its naturalistic tone.
