Old Man 1890

Konstantin Makovsky's "Old Man" (1890) is a portrait study of an elderly man, likely a peasant, in profile. He is wearing a green jacket and a distinctive fur hat with a red band, reflecting the fashion of the time. The painting is executed in a realist style, focusing on the subject's weathered features and the subtle brushstrokes employed by Makovsky, known for his depictions of everyday life and ordinary people in 19th-century Russia.
