Jules Destrée is a 1917 ink by Paul-Albert Besnard, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait shows a man with a serious expression, looking directly at the viewer. He has a prominent mustache and a thinning patch of hair on the top of his head, which is combed over to one side. His eyes are cast downward slightly, giving him a contemplative appearance. The man's face is rendered in fine detail, with delicate lines and shading that suggest a high level of skill on the part of the artist. The overall effect is one of quiet introspection, as if the subject is lost in thought.
