About this work

The painting is a portrait of a man with short, wavy hair and a serious expression. He is wearing a collared shirt with buttons down the front and a high collar that covers his neck. His arms are crossed, and his hands are clasped together in front of him. The background of the painting is a solid color, with no discernible details or textures. The man's facial expression is calm and introspective, with a hint of intensity in his eyes. His posture is relaxed, yet confident, conveying a sense of quiet strength and authority. The painting is a lithograph, created by Théodore Chassériau in 1848. It is held at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and is an example of Romanticism.
