Description

Author: Yesirkeyev, Raymkul. 1921 – 1980
A frontal portrait of a man turned three-quarters to the right. The figure is set against an industrial landscape featuring factory structures, slag heaps, and mountain peaks. The man is dressed in a long robe with a wide border trim and a fur cap; holding a cane in his right hand, his gaze is directed toward the viewer. The work is painted in loose, impasto brushstrokes. The color palette is built on a combination of ochre, brown, gray-blue, and green tones.
