Original artwork description:

A young man smartly attired in a trilby hat, suit, and tie and the poised delicacy of the pipe-smoking gesture seek to convey an atmosphere of sophistication from a time now lost to us. The painting yearns for that sensory experience of encountering the sweet aroma of pipe tobacco as we become aware of the man in the cafe or on the bus. The young man's gaze is not directed towards the viewer but extends beyond the frame, creating an air of mystery. What thoughts occupy his mind? The young man seems enigmatic. What is the nature of this stolen moment?

Materials used:

Winsor and Newton oil paint
