Retired Watchmaker Portrait in Oumé Window

Soft overcast light from a workshop window in Oumé illuminates the weathered face of a retired watchmaker. Distinct indentations from a magnifying loupe mark the skin around one ear, showing years of precise work. He wears a simple collared shirt while seated beside the glass. Rainy season moisture condenses on the window pane, creating a blurred backdrop of tools and wooden surfaces. The shallow depth of field isolates his eyes, which hold a steady gaze. Light falls across his cheekbones, highlighting the texture of aged skin and faint lines etched by concentration. The background dissolves into warm, indistinct tones of wood and metal.
