Self-Portrait in the Role of M. Prud'homme

Henry Bonaventure Monnier

Cleveland Museum of Art

A standing portrait drawing of an older man. He wears a dark suit with a blue vest and white cravat. His hands are behind his back, one arm tucked into his coat pocket. The man has thinning hair and short facial hair. The drawing is on aged paper with a sepia tone and darker edges. The artist's signature in cursive appears on the bottom left. The year 1873 is written underneath. The composition captures the man from the waist up to his feet.
