A black-and-white oil painting with dramatic film noir lighting, high contrast, and deep shadows. The image depicts a man leaning back against a wall, wearing a black three-piece suit with a black collared shirt and a white cravat. The suit jacket is open. He is shown from the side, in profile. The man wears a flat cap pulled low over his head, the brim obscuring his face so that his facial features remain indistinct and unclear, with only a vague side profile visible. One of his legs is bent, with the foot resting against the wall. His hand closest to the viewer is in his trouser pocket, while from his left hand a rose is falling. The rose is the only colored element in the painting, rendered in deep carmine red. Man is wide shouldered and heavy build. Not overweight but not thin either. And man's face is not seen for the shadow of his hat covers his face. Mehr sehen
