André Bénac

Edouard Vuillard

Cleveland Museum of Art

The portrait of André Bénac by Edouard Vuillard depicts an older man with gray hair and a mustache sitting at a desk. He wears a black suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie. The man sits in a chair with his right arm resting on the desk, while his left arm is bent. The desk in front of him holds various objects, including a magnifying glass, a photograph in a frame, and papers. On the wall behind him to the left is a fireplace mantle with a framed picture on it. To the right of the man is a long, red curtain and what appears to be more framed pictures on the wall.
