Smoker is a 1904 oil by Nicolás Alperiz, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting Smoking, held at National Museum of Fine Arts, Argentina.
This painting shows a man in a black coat and hat, with a white shirt and red vest underneath. He's holding a cigarette in his right hand, and his left hand is by his side. The background is dark, which makes the man stand out. The man's clothing looks old-fashioned, and the way he's holding the cigarette makes him seem relaxed. The dark background helps focus attention on the man. If you're interested in learning more about this style of painting, you might want to look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
