A silver-haired man reclines in profile on a dark outdoor sofa, wearing a crisp white button-down and red shorts. Sunlight from the right warms his cheek and forearm while the shirt’s cool grays fold into soft ridges that catch small hits of reflected sky. Round sunglasses flash a muted highlight at the rim, and the open collar, rolled cuffs, and easy posture suggest a moment of rest.

The background is a calm expanse of pale blue that meets the sofa’s dark cushions in a long horizontal band, simplifying the space and emphasizing the figure’s silhouette. Brushwork alternates between smooth passages in the skin and broken, blocky strokes that describe linen, wood armrests, and the faint turquoise edge along the shoulder. The composition crops close, letting the diagonal of the forearm and the tilt of the head carry a quiet, sunlit mood.
