George Cotton Smith

Amerikanische Malerei 1904–1911, 1908

This painting is a portrait of a man shown from the chest up, with his body partially turned to the right and his head facing us, the right side of his face in shadow. The man has pale skin, deep-set light blue eyes, a prominent gray beard and mustache, and thinning dark hair slightly combed back over a high forehead. His mouth is hidden behind his mustache, but it appears to be in a neutral expression. He is wearing a dark coat over a white shirt which is visible at the collar. The background is a muted, dark gray color with visible brushstrokes.
