Remove a small disc about and apply Green second identity to and . Since and , the shrinking inner boundary contributes and gives
For the unit disc, the method of images gives the Dirichlet Green function
which vanishes on the boundary by the hinted identity. The boundary representation with evaluates the normal derivative of at , giving the Poisson kernel
