This is a wonderful example of Outsider Folk Art. This vintage Oil Painting features a Portrait Of an Old Man lighting a Cigarette. Awesome light source from the match creates very moody and expressive shadows on the mans face and the soft glow emanating from his hands peeks out between his fingers! Also there is a gentle glow from the windows behind the man that gives this painting depth and definition. The added texture of the paint is the icing on this cake! Signed but very difficult to read. Please see photos for the best idea. This is a Vintage Painting, but I have no idea how old it is, I just know that I have had it for years.
