The man is very aged, and his eyes are black. He is very sad Thanatos. There is no life, no vitality; he is starring blankly into space. He looks like you would expect a Holocaust victim to look like. Maybe he just saw his family murdered. He is also thin, he might have been starved and this adds to his lifeless appearance. His shirt is an old, dirty, collared. He might have been wearing it since the SS came and took him to the ghetto. His hands are worn, callused, and cut. He appears to be in deep thought.

In the middle of the painting is a brilliant source of right in the middle of a square and structured frame. The painting is full of geometric shapes and appears to be very jagged.
