Portrait du sénateur Heinrich Roscher, assis is a 1913 unspecified by Édouard Vuillard, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Hamburger Kunsthalle.
This painting shows an older man sitting in a chair, dressed in a dark suit with a white shirt and black bow tie. He has a balding head and is looking to the right. The man's hands are clasped together in his lap, and he appears to be in a contemplative mood. The background of the painting is a muted color, which helps to focus attention on the subject. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject's face and hands.
