  • "Most people don't look at a face too long; they tend to look away. But you do if you are painting a portrait"

     

    - David Hockney

    The second portrait of Matelot Kevin Durez presents a more intimate and contemplative pose than the previous one. The sailor leans on the back of a chair, with his body slightly turned and his head resting on his arms, giving a sense of casual relaxation. The vibrant blue uniform and the sailor's hat with "Marine Nationale" are again prominent. His expression is focused, with a cigarette in hand, while the soft green background contrasts with the sharpness of his attire. The detail in the uniform and his pose suggests both formality and informality, combining authority with personal ease.
