Carolus-Duran is a 1890 oil by John Singer Sargent, a Impressionism work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This portrait shows a man with dark, curly hair and a thick mustache, wearing a tan jacket over a white shirt with ruffled cuffs. He has a black necktie and a red pin on his jacket. His right arm rests on his leg, and his left hand holds a cane. The background is dark and shadowy. The man's pose and attire suggest a sense of confidence and sophistication. The artist has used chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting. The painting is held at the Clark Art Institute.
