Portrait of Mr. R. de la Rochetaille at his Desk is a 1889 oil by Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret, a Impressionism work, held at Israel Museum.
This portrait depicts a man sitting at a desk, surrounded by papers and books. He is dressed in dark attire with a white shirt and a pink pocket square, and has short, dark hair. The man's right hand rests on the papers, while his left hand is placed on his thigh. The desk is ornately carved and features a red and gold design. The painting's background is a deep red color, which contrasts with the subject's dark clothing. The overall atmosphere of the portrait is one of quiet contemplation, as the man appears lost in thought.
