Augustus John

Artist, Welsh, 1878 - 1961

The image shows a half-length portrait of a man seen from the chest up. The man is positioned in a three-quarter view, looking directly at the viewer with a serious expression. He has a prominent beard and mustache, and his hair is hidden under a wide-brimmed hat that has a crease down the center. The man is wearing a jacket and a shirt underneath. In his hands, he holds what appears to be a notebook or a folded piece of paper. The background is abstract with a combination of lines and shading, giving a textured look without depicting any specific scenery.
