Dots and ovals bubbling across a fine grid form the head of a light-skinned man with his face angled to our right in this vertical portrait painting. The grid runs diagonally to create mostly diamond-shaped squares and some rectangles, each of which is filled with concentric circles or ovals around a dot. The man’s face fills the composition and extends off each edge except the right, where a narrow dark margin separates the man’s cheek from the edge of the canvas. Because of the way the eyes are fractured into cell-like units, it is hard to tell if he looks at us or just off to our right. He has a high forehead, receding gray hair, sloping nose, long upper lip, downturned mouth, sagging jowls, and rounded chin. The overall effect is of a slightly unfocused, surreally pixelated image.
