The artwork, named “Orphan Man with Long Overcoat, Glass and Handkerchief,” is a pencil drawing on paper created by Vincent van Gogh in 1882 in The Hague, Netherlands. This piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of portrait. It is currently housed in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo, Netherlands.
In the artwork, the subject is depicted as an aged man dressed in a lengthy, textured overcoat and a flat cap. He holds a drinking glass in one hand and a handkerchief in the other. The detailed lines emphasize the attire’s texture and the character’s somber expression, highlighting van Gogh’s skill in capturing the realism of everyday individuals. The monochromatic pencil work adds to the nostalgic and contemplative mood of the portrait.
