▁that ▁  “ a ▁great ▁influence ▁on ▁me ▁not ▁only ▁as ▁a ▁painter ▁but ▁as ▁a ▁gentlemen , ▁as ▁a ▁man ” ▁. ▁As ▁Mot ley ▁began ▁his ▁career , ▁he ▁realized ▁that ▁working ▁in ▁portrait ure ▁was ▁not ▁very ▁prof itable . ▁In ▁one ▁of ▁Mot ley ’ s ▁early ▁works , ▁“ The ▁Fish erman ” ▁it ▁is ▁extremely ▁un express ive ▁and ▁does ▁not ▁bear ▁much ▁res embl ance ▁to ▁Arch ib ald ’ s ▁later ▁work . ▁The ▁p alette ▁Mot ley ▁uses ▁in ▁this ▁portrait ▁is ▁very ▁m uted ▁and ▁real istic . ▁A ▁middle ▁age ▁man ▁is ▁sitting ▁in ▁a ▁chair , ▁looking ▁out ▁to ▁the ▁right , ▁not ▁making ▁eye ▁contact ▁with ▁the ▁vie wer . ▁Not ▁only ▁is ▁the ▁subject ▁matter ▁different ▁in ▁Mot ley ’ s ▁earlier ▁paint ings ▁compared ▁to ▁his ▁later , ▁but ▁as ▁is ▁his ▁style . ▁In ▁his ▁portrait ▁of ▁this ▁fish erman , ▁the ▁br ush st ro kes ▁are ▁extremely ▁visible ▁and ▁the ▁man ▁is ▁very ▁natural istic ▁unlike ▁his ▁later ▁paint ings ▁where ▁it ▁is ▁very ▁anim ates ▁and ▁appears ▁to ▁look ▁s atur ated . ▁It ▁can ▁be ▁seen ▁in ▁this ▁early ▁portrait ▁the ▁influence ▁B ue hr ▁had ▁on ▁Mot ley . ▁The ▁artists ▁focus ▁on ▁light , ▁cont ours ▁in ▁the ▁face , ▁and ▁texture ▁can ▁be ▁attributed ▁to ▁his ▁ment or ▁. ▁The ▁tools ▁and ▁techniques ▁Mot ley ▁learned ▁under ▁B ue hr ▁can ▁be ▁seen ▁in ▁this ▁early ▁work . ▁Mot ley
