Marbles

James Henry Moser

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man seated in a cushioned chair. His upper body and part of his lower body are visible, in a relaxed, slightly reclined position. The man has a distinguished facial profile with a furrowed brow and an intense gaze, with neatly styled hair. He is wearing a robe with ornate details. A large unfolded newspaper is draped over him. The background fades into sketch-like lines, leaving it blank, emphasizing the figure in the chair. The sketch has a graceful simplicity.
