The Diplomat is a 1868 ink by Mariano Fortuny Marsal, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This portrait depicts a man seated in a chair, his body turned to the left. He is dressed in a long coat with a high collar and a scarf around his neck, and his hands are clasped together in front of him. The man's face is turned slightly towards the viewer, and his expression is serious. The background of the painting is dark, which helps to draw attention to the subject. The overall mood of the painting is somber and contemplative. The artist's use of etching and aquatint techniques creates a sense of depth and texture in the painting.
