Oval painting of a bearded man wearing a crown of thorns, looking up with a sorrowful expression, draped in pink cloth against a dark background.

Man van Smarten

An oval painting shows a bearded man with a crown of thorns, gazing upward with parted lips and wet, glowing eyes. A rose-pink drape falls over his bare shoulders against a dark, warm background. The loose brushwork and soft modeling suggest an oil on canvas in the Bolognese manner.

Español: Varón de Dolores (Man van Smarten), seguidor de Guido Reni

Una pintura oval muestra a un hombre barbado con corona de espinas, mirando hacia arriba con los labios entreabiertos y los ojos húmedos y brillantes. Un paño rosa cae sobre sus hombros desnudos contra un fondo oscuro y cálido. El pincel suelto y el modelado suave sugieren un óleo sobre lienzo de estilo boloñés.
