About the piece

Painted in 1908 by Martinus van Regteren Altena, this soulful portrait captures a man of distinction. The artist employs a warm, tonal palette and expressive brushwork to highlight the weathered features of the sitter, whose red scarf and green umbrella provide a striking contrast against the dark, moody background.
