Portrait of a Young Man, oil on canvas signed

This impressive portrait is obviously moving and striking due to its technical mastery, but it is also surprising as it is the work of a painter better known for his abstract works. He demonstrates a real talent for this difficult genre: conveying psychological depth and rendering what could appear as a physical resemblance. In any case, he admirably succeeds in conveying the character of this young man and expressing his sensitivity. What is also interesting is the treatment of the background, which picks up the grey of the young man's suit but is painted with a real freedom. It is a true painter's work that anticipates the future developments of the artist.
