Portrait of George Aloysius Lucas is a 1893 oil by Léon Bonnat, a Impressionism work, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows an older man with a long white beard and hair, dressed in a dark suit. He is holding a cane in his right hand and leaning against a chair with his left. The background is dark, which helps the man stand out. The man's face is serious, and he looks directly at the viewer. His beard is well-groomed, and his suit is formal. The chair he is leaning on is partially visible, but it looks like it might be a comfortable, cushioned chair. The artist of this painting is Léon Bonnat.
Léon Joseph Florentin Bonnat (French pronunciation: ; 20 June 1833 – 8 September 1922) was a French painter, Grand Officer of the Légion d'honneur, art collector and professor at the Ecole des Beaux Arts.
