About the piece
This evocative oil portrait from 1903 is the work of Shigeru Aoki, a pioneer of Western-style painting in Japan. The subject, a man with long hair and a mustache, is captured in a moment of quiet intensity, with warm, flickering light highlighting the contours of his face against a rich, textured background.
