A Sorrowful Man

     A Sorrowful Man                 

            Joseph seems very sorrowful in this photograph. It can be considered from the posture of him. Even though he has completely white hair which shows his senescence, on some parts of his head there is no hair. His forehead is wide and there are lots of both wrinkles and skin blemishes on it. These wrinkles and blemishes tell us he faced with several difficulties during his life. Joseph is beetle-browed. May be he tries to seem tough by posing like this since he does not want to express his sad feelings about his wife, Kate, who has died recently. Also, his eyebrows are not thick and the color of them is white, too. Below the eyebrows, he has colorful eyes which are looking directly into the camera with a big pain. Besides, he seems as if he is about to cry because of his being lonely. The way he looks also says that he thinks there is no point of living without his wife for the rest of his life. Therefore, he wants to die, too. What is more, Joseph has a wide nose. Below it, because of his old age, he has lost many of his teeth and that is why his lips seem very thin. Moreover, he has beard which covers half of his face but for its being white, it cannot be seen clearly. When we look at Joseph’s clothes, we understand that although he is not in a good situation, his dressing is really neat. May be this man thinks this is the last time that he was taken a photo before he dies. To conclude, when the photo was taken, it is seen obviously that there is a man who is weary of life.
