A head-and-shoulders portrait of an elderly Jewish man from the East End, seen in three quarter face view facing left. This is one of a pair of portraits by the artist from the Ben Uri Collection showing impoverished, elderly, East End subjects. Both are executed in thinned, dry oil paint on paper, used to great effect as a drawing medium. The compositions and subjects reflect Frankfurther's admiration for Rembrandt.
