Man at Day's End

A solitary elderly man sits hunched on a wooden chair, his face buried in his hands and his blue work clothes gathered heavily around him. Thick, directional strokes animate the figure, chair, worn floorboards, and humble interior, while the bowed posture concentrates the composition into a quiet study of exhaustion and despair. The warm wood and ochre surroundings press closely around the cool blue figure, heightening the sense of inward retreat.
