Portrait of Age by RK Schlueter


















Oil on 12x14" panel. I love the style of portraiture in photography from early and mid century. I'm struck by the subtle drama and beauty of a monochromatic image done this way. I think the little touches of color are sweet and the mark of a very stylish and romantic era gone by.
