Portrait of Nehemias Gueiros
Description
Composition in tones earthy, black and ochre with red ochre touch. Smooth texture. Bust of man against smooth and dark background. The portrayed faces, slightly turned to the right, has brown hair, slightly wavy, broad forehead, bushy eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes and thin mouth with red ochre touch. Wears dark jacket, sand and tie with black stripes diagonally. Cracks throughout the area of the composition, appearing to have been a deliberate treatment applied to the screen to give an idea of widespread crackle. At the upper right corner, in the background, it appears part of the frame of a picture that was hanging on the wall.
