An older man with a full head of grey hair and a white beard sits absorbed in playing an acoustic guitar. He bends over the instrument, brow furrowed in concentration, one hand fretting up the neck and the other resting over the soundhole. His white shirtsleeves and dark waistcoat catch the light against a muted olive and brown background. Slutsker paints the hands and face with quick, confident strokes, and the warm orange body of the guitar anchors the whole picture. Oil on canvas, 60 by 47 centimetres, from 2018.
