Embodied in technical realism, this portrait depicts a man with a serene, critical expression. The striking texture of his skin, accentuated by a subtle play of light, reveals a face with distinct features. The man's bald head contrasts with his dense, carefully detailed beard, creating a remarkable visual balance. The artist's color palette, in warm, earthy tones, contributes to the intimate atmosphere of the work. The black collar of the garment frames the face, adding understated depth and elegance to the overall composition.

Long inspired by European paintings from the Renaissance to the 19th century, where women composition, the artist uses humor and diversion to play on the traditional.
The artist uses humor and misappropriation to thwart the treaty of these representations. She “ narrates a story ‘ through the people and details that make up her paintings, and the artist's omnipresent work in series leads her models and objects to move from one work to the next ’ to recompose the narrative, to tell a new story ”.
