This 1881 print shows a man in costume. It’s by Georges Cain, a French artist tied to Impressionism and Realism. The piece lives at the Victoria and Albert Museum. It’s a full-length portrait of Mr. Lheritier dressed for a stage role. The image comes from a comedy titled “La Cagnotte.” Fun detail: the man wears a cummerbund in the scene. Check out Georges Cain next.
