About the work

A bald elderly man sits quietly on a chair gripping a wooden cane, while two white chickens peck at the floor before him and a group of figures converse loosely rendered in the background. The painting captures an unhurried moment of everyday life through expressive, gestural brushwork and a cool palette of blues, greens, and yellows.

Mohamed Eltohamy (Egypt).
