It's like a school portrait .

Possible. But did the students take the job under a varnish ?

I like the portrait passed " prickliness " this character. Look at the eyebrows, beard , eye - slits ... All in the barbed wire.
 Both externally and internally .
... That's why I thought it was a portrait of a recent prisoner.

I think that it makes sense even the background, "hair" and some "official" clothing.

Personally, I have the impression that everything is happening somewhere in the East.
