Charles Delahaye

Charles Marville

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man in a half-body portrait. He is seated with his chin resting on his left hand, which is placed on a table. The man has a beard, mustache, and his eyes are looking off-camera. He has voluminous, tousled hair. He is wearing a dark jacket over a light shirt, and there are geometric tools on the table in front of him. The background is blurry with a light-toned surface, possibly a wall or window, and the side of an easel or picture frame is visible. The scene is in sepia tone.
