Jules Destrée is a 1917 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait is a black and white etching of a man's head and shoulders. The man has dark hair and a mustache, and is wearing a white shirt with a dark collar. His face is turned slightly to the right, and his eyes are looking directly at the viewer. The etching is done in a detailed and realistic style, with intricate lines and shading that give the impression of texture and depth. The background of the image is a light beige color, which helps to highlight the darker tones of the man's hair and clothing. The artist who created this portrait, Besnard, Albert, was skilled at capturing the subtleties of human expression and emotion.
