A study of a bearded man in glasses and a khaki safari hat, painted directly and loosely, with visible loaded brushwork left unblended in the hat and beard. Attributed to Adeline Hoagland, an American painter who worked in oils from the early 1980s onward, on the strength of direct studio provenance rather than a signature. The canvas is unfinished at its margins, where raw or thinly primed linen remains visible, giving a clear look at how she built the head before resolving the rest of the composition.
