With dislike, Rudolf Rox presents a powerful portrait that combines gesture and facial expression to make a clear statement. The expressive hand gesture - the thumb down - is depicted
monumentally in the center of the picture, while the sitter's face radiates a mixture of determination and quiet criticism.
Rox uses bright colors and clear contrasts to render the motif in the style of contemporary portraiture. The background in a rich red-green contrast reinforces the emotional impact of the
picture.
