Portrait of a Man 1932

Zinaida Serebriakova's 1932 "Portrait of a Man" depicts a seated man in a three-piece suit, his hand resting on his lap. The artist, known for her expressive brushstrokes, uses charcoal and pastel to capture the sitter's strong features, including a prominent mustache. The background, while blurred, suggests a domestic setting, perhaps a study or library, contributing to the portrait's sense of intimacy. This work exemplifies Serebriakova's talent for portraiture, demonstrating her ability to convey both physical likeness and internal character.
