Like Pige, he blends folk and academic elements in his painting. Unlike him, he uses the brown colour of academic painting and models volume through chiaroscuro.The captain from Psara is portrayed in a proud frontal pose, looking at the viewer, a lit cigarette in his fingers. He is wearing the traditional costume of his island. Through the open window can be seen a vessel with all sails open. This detail is emblematic of the sitter's professional occupation as a captain.  aPainting  aOil on canvas 1aKriezis Andreasf(1813 - 1878)uhttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/en/artist/kriezis-andreas/  a59  uhttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/en/artwork/captain-from-psara/  ahttps://www.nationalgallery.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/61217_2000_2000-500x680.jpg  aΚ.805  aΕ.
