Male Portrait

20th-century French school oil painting on carton. The work is smooth to the touch. 

A unique small scale portrait, painted with quick brushstrokes and lots of movement to create a "glimpse" of someone, rather than a precise portraiture. The man with his bowtie is illuminated on one side of his face, and the white of his shirt and even the background seems to fade out along the edges. This is a great decor piece.
