More about this artwork

The artwork titled "Portrait of a Mulatto" is a striking and emotive oil painting by Swiss artist Frank Buchser, created between 1866 and 1871. This painting is an exceptional example of Buchser's portrait work, known for its nuanced exploration of human expressions and identity.The painting depicts the head and upper torso of a young man against a muted greyish-blue background, which subtly enhances the subject's warm complexion and dark hair. His gaze is direct and piercing, engaging the viewer with an intense and contemplative expression, which is underscored by his slightly furrowed brow. The subject's dark, flowing hair frames his face, adding a natural, unrefined quality to the depiction.He is dressed in a pink, button-up shirt with detailed fabric texture and golden buttons. Notably, the shirt is partly unbuttoned, revealing his chest, which contributes to the painting's sense of immediacy and vulnerability."Portrait of a Mulatto" exemplifies Buchser's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, presenting not only a detailed physical likeness but also conveying a deeper, emotional resonance.
