Teodor Axentowicz's "Head of an Elderly Man" is a work that captures the very essence of humanity through the portrait of a face marked by time. This painting, imbued with depth and wisdom, invites the viewer to delve into the inner universe of a man whose features tell a story filled with experiences and emotions.

Style and uniqueness of the work
