This striking oil painting by the German painter, August Holmberg, depicts a richly detailed and intimate portrait of a man wrapped in a flowing yellow shawl with deep crimson and ochre accents. The dramatic chiaroscuro, drawing influence from Dutch and Italian Baroque masters, highlights the contours of his face, giving the work a sculptural depth.
