The Confidence Man is a 1919 oil by Guy Pène du Bois, a American Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting depicts a man and a woman standing closely together, facing each other. The man is bald and wears a black suit with a white shirt and black bow tie. The woman has dark hair and wears a black dress with thin straps. The man's face is red, and his expression seems serious or even angry. The woman's face is not clearly visible, but her posture suggests she might be trying to calm him down. The background of the painting is a solid green color. The artist who created this painting is Guy Pène du Bois.
Guy Pène du Bois was a 20th-century American painter, art critic, and educator. Born in the U.S. to a French family, his work depicted the culture and society around him: cafes, theatres, and in the twenties, flappers.
