Henri-Gabriel Ibels

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing with his right hand raised to his head, touching his temple. His left arm is slightly bent at the elbow with his hand open and turned outward. The man is illustrated in a stylized manner, primarily in silhouette with flat black for his clothing, while his face and hand are drawn with minimal lines and light color. He has simple facial features showing closed lips and a focused expression, and dark, smoothly combed hair. The man is wearing a formal suit with a white shirt. There are no visible jewelry or objects held. The background is a plain, light-colored canvas.
