Marcellin-Gilbert Desboutin

National Gallery of Art

The image is a detailed portrait drawing showing the upper part of a man's body. The man is positioned with his body slightly turned to the side, while his face is directed towards the viewer. His facial features include deep-set eyes, a prominent nose, and a full beard and mustache. His hair is curly and appears voluminous under a cap or hat. He is wearing a jacket over a high-collared garment and is holding a pipe with his lips, which extends outward to the right. The background is plain and uncluttered.
