Gabriele D'Annunzio

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a head-and-shoulders view of a person with their face turned slightly to the right. The person has a noticeable forehead and brow, deeply set eyes, and sparse hair with the top of the head appearing mostly bald. The person wears a garment with a plain collar, likely a shirt. The rest of the clothing is not clearly visible because of the high-contrast style of the image. No jewelry or objects are visible. The background features dark, abstract patterns in various gradients and textures.
