An old man in round glasses tucks into a slice of cream-filled roulade, fork raised, his face creased with anticipation. He has a grey beard, a coloured scarf knotted at his throat over a dark coat, and he balances the little plate of cake topped with berries in his other hand. The background is a flat, dark olive-green that throws all the light onto his face and the dessert. Slutsker keeps the brushwork thick and expressive, the whole thing affectionate and faintly comic.
