Portrait of a Man 1910

Walter Gramatté’s "Portrait of a Man" from 1910 is a striking example of early 20th-century portraiture. The painting's muted palette and stippled brushstrokes create a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the subject's somber gaze. The man's piercing blue eye and carefully rendered facial features draw the viewer in, hinting at the subject's inner world. The composition is simple, yet powerful, with the subject filling the canvas and captivating the viewer's attention.
