The fragmented form and golden tones of this magnificent portrait echo those of Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt, with the cubist elements recalling the portraits of Picasso. The stance and attire of the sitter has many parallels with Picasso's well known work 'The Artist's Son Paul as a Harlequin', yet this piece depicts an older man and is also more developed in style, making this an highly intriguing piece. The figure appears melancholic, with the pattern on his costume and the mask-like face behind him both faded. An extremely sophisticated and skilled painting.
