About the piece
Painted in 1881 by Jules Bastien-Lepage, this masterful oil on panel depicts the influential art critic Albert Wolff. Seated amidst a creative disarray of manuscripts and sculptures, the subject's direct gaze and the rich, atmospheric palette of deep reds and browns make this a compelling statement piece for a study or library.
