Description

A three quarter study, half portrait of a seated young man with long hair in a white short and blue sweater.

Commentary

A young man with long hair possibly in school uniform. The artist has caught the sitter’s pensive gaze and captured the clothing in a loose, fluid and convincing manner. The rendering of the face and hair are characteristically A Fleming. Probably early/mid 1970s.
