Félix Bracquemond

National Gallery of Art

The image features an older man in a portrait style. He is positioned facing slightly to the side while looking directly at the viewer. The man has distinctive large eyes, a prominent mustache, and short, wavy hair with hints of greying. He wears a light-colored shirt with a loosely tied large scarf around his neck. In his hand, he holds a smoking cigarette, with smoke rising upwards. The background is elaborately detailed with decorative elements, including an artistic depiction of a figure and a small bird perched within a circular frame surrounded by leaves. The background also showcases intricate patterns and ornate woodwork.
