In his right, he is holding an unidentifiable item. Seemingly lost, the man, who is dressed all in black, is surrounded by a whirl of colours, which almost further emphasize his isolation. Sussmann is especially famous for his emphatic portraits of the orthodox Jewish society. The painting by Heinrich Sussmann is in very good condition with only minimal traces of age and wear.
