About the piece
Painted in 1828 by French artist Jacques Raymond Brascassat, this oil study depicts a Calabrian man with intense realism. The composition is defined by dramatic chiaroscuro, pulling the subject's weathered features and the stark white of his headwrap from the deep, moody shadows of the background.
