Portrait Study Of A Man

This early 20th-century Swedish oil painting depicts a man wrapped in a heavy coat. It’s abundant with expressive brushwork and, given its unfinished nature, perhaps an academic study.

Portrait studies, such as this, carry greater immediacy than finished works as they capture a moment between sitter and artist without the pressure of a resulting exhibition or gallery sale. It’s a work straight from the brush with absolute feeling.

Could it be a self-portrait even?

Held within a simple wooden frame, probably original.
