A portrait character study of an elderly man. The sitter is rendered with a wisp of grey hair and a candid, alert expression, wearing a dark grey-green coat with a small brass button. Painted in a restrained palette, with warm flesh tones drawn out against the dark background — a naturalistic treatment in the academic realist tradition. Housed in the original substantial gilt gesso frame with foliate scroll ornament and a linen slip.
