About the piece
Painted by Flemish master Jacob Jordaens around 1630, these two oil studies demonstrate incredible technical skill in capturing human expression and texture. The dramatic use of light and shadow highlights the man's deeply lined face and soft white beard, making it a compelling example of 17th-century character studies.
