The clear background, of a soft tone that contrasts with the figure of the portrayed, directs attention to the central character. Carneiro Clam, portrayed starting from a penetrating and safe look, appears with a hat that becomes a key element within the iconography of the work. This accessory not only adds an air of distinction, but also symbolizes a certain degree of personality and character, suggesting both status and a sense of cultural identity.
António Carneiro uses a technique that emphasizes texture and detail, which allows the skin of the portrayed to come alive through subtle nuances of color and shadows. The brushstrokes are loose and delicate, especially in the hair and wrinkles that mark the expression of the face, which gives the work a feeling of movement and vitality. This approach is aligned with the characteristics of modernism, where the exploration of the shape and color becomes vehicles to express individuality and subjectivity.
