Athletic Latino in an Old-World Bookstore (Oil)

An oil painting of an athletic Latino man standing in a warmly lit, old-world bookstore. He wears a fitted charcoal T-shirt and dark jeans, his muscular arms relaxed as he holds a leather-bound book close to his chest. Surrounding him are tall wooden shelves packed with books; soft amber light filters from a skylight and lamps, casting dramatic chiaroscuro across his sculpted face and physique. Thick, textured brushstrokes and rich earth tones give the scene a timeless, painterly feel.
