Portrait de Poly is a 1894 oil by Claude Monet, a Impressionism work, held at Musée Marmottan Monet.
This painting shows a man with a beard and a hat, wearing a blue coat. The background is light-colored and blurry. The man's face is painted in a way that makes it look rough and textured. His eyes are looking to the side, and his mouth is slightly open. The painting is done in a style that makes the colors and shapes blend together. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of impasto.
Oscar-Claude Monet was born in Paris on November 14, 1840, and raised from the age of five in Le Havre, where he began selling charcoal caricatures as a teenager.
