Jules Destrée

Albert Besnard

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a man with his head and part of his shoulders visible. His face is turned slightly to his left, and he appears to be looking slightly downward with a focused expression. The man's facial features include a prominent mustache and a slight beard, with high cheekbones and expressive eyes. His hair is dark, straight, and unkempt, extending past his ears. He is wearing a high-collared garment. The background is a textured, shadowy surface with a scribbled effect. The artwork includes the date "Rome 1917" inscribed on it, along with an unreadable signature at the bottom.
