Painted in the mid-20th century, the work shows “Papa” in his later years with his unmistakable full white beard and mustache, piercing gaze, silver hair, and commanding presence. Dressed in a tailored brown jacket, crisp white collar, and signature blue tie, he exudes the quiet strength and worldly wisdom that defined his public image. Rendered with expressive brushwork and warm, naturalistic tones, the painting perfectly balances realism and character — exactly the kind of soulful portrait collectors love. Oil on canvas, this small-scale original measures approximately 8" H x 10" W (ruler shown in photos for scale). Unframed and ready to display in any frame of your choice.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with beautiful natural patina, authentic craquelure, and rich colors that have aged gracefully. No tears, holes, or major damage — just the charming wear that adds to its story. Whether you’re a Hemingway devotee, a collector of literary memorabilia, or simply want a powerful masculine portrait for a home library, writer’s den, office, or gallery wall, this piece delivers instant character and conversation-starting appeal.
