La Jartigo 1924

"La Jartigo", painted in 1924 by Robert Henri, is a portrait of an elderly man in a wide-brimmed hat, a red jacket, and a white shirt, his hands clasped around a cane. The painting's dark background highlights the man's wrinkled face and the deep furrows in his brow. The loose brushwork and bold colors are characteristic of Henri's style, which was influenced by the Ashcan School and the Realist movement. "La Jartigo" is a poignant depiction of the dignity and resilience of aging, a theme that Henri often explored in his works.
