About this work

This painting shows a man in a long apron, standing in front of a door. He's holding a brush in his right hand and has a broom at his feet. The background is a room with a chair and a table. The man's pose and the objects around him suggest he's a coachman or a servant. The painting's style and attention to detail make it a great example of Realism.
